On Sunday, Feb. 1, Cook County-based non-profit BEDS Plus will host its 14th annual Soup & Bread fundraiser to raise money in support of homelessness.

Founded in 1988 by La Grange area leaders to fight homelessness in their town, BEDS Plus has expanded to operate across Cook County and provides not just housing but also a suite of professional services to help those in need holistically.

BEDS Plus’s Soup & Bread fundraiser is set to feature 25 acclaimed cooks from across the Chicagoland area, all bringing their best soup recipes to the table for an incredible night of charity, community, and good eats. The soups will be accompanied by a bevy of local craft beer, wine, and spirit producers.
