Soup Crawl Raises More Than $27,000 for Second Harvest Food Bank

Innovation Connector was proud to participate in the 14th Annual Soup Crawl on October 1st in Downtown Muncie. The event brought the community together for an evening of soup tasting while supporting an important cause, raising $27,636.15 for Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana. Hosted by PrimeTrust Federal Credit Union and Second Harvest Food Bank, Soup Crawl features local restaurants, caterers and nonprofits serving a variety of soups at locations throughout downtown. Innovation Connector took part by serving Pineapple Chili inside MadJax.

Beyond the food and friendly competition, Soup Crawl makes a meaningful difference for local families. All funds raised this year will support The Big Idea Initiative, which works with schools and families to help break the cycle of generational poverty by connecting children and their families with essential food and resources. The success of this year’s event reflects the generosity of the community, participating vendors, and event sponsors. Innovation Connector is grateful to have been part of an evening that brought people together in support of Second Harvest Food Bank and the families it serves.

Thank you to PrimeTrust Federal Credit Union, Second Harvest Food Bank, the participating vendors, and everyone who helped make this year’s Soup Crawl a success. The Soup Crawl tradition will continue in 2027, with the 15th Anniversary event scheduled for Thursday, October 7th. We look forward to seeing this community tradition continue to grow!
