Christmas Soup Joumou Hamper

$100.00

---

This holiday season we will be providing our families (and hopefully many others in the community) with a nutritious food hamper that will not only provide for them physically but encourage them to celebrate their heritage.

Our holiday hampers include the ingredients needed to make Soup Joumou! 

Soup Joumou is not only an incredibly flavorful, hearty, and warming dish, but it has a powerful story behind it. This traditional Haitian soup, made with a Caribbean pumpkin called Joumou, was once a delicacy reserved for white enslavers but forbidden to the enslaved people who cooked it. After Haiti won its independence from France on January 1, 1804, Haitians made a tradition of eating the soup each Independence Day (which also happens to be New Year’s Day) to celebrate their freedom. 

For $100 you will be providing two families with a Soup Joumou hamper!

You can purchase them for your student's family (and include a personal note), a Small Business Loan recipient, and/or a community member in need.

You can also purchase them as a gift to a friend or family member in Canada and we will send them a personalized email.
