Soup Sisters Night


What a beautiful evening of compassion, connection, and community.

Women United recently hosted a Family Dinner Night for local families, 30 incredible volunteers prepared homemade soups, salads, desserts, served guests, and cleaned up with caring hearts.

Thanks to Walmart Punta Gorda, Suncoast One Title & Closing, YMCA of Southwest Florida, and United Way Charlotte County, for collecting soups that were shared with families and donated to local food pantries.

A wonderful reminder that when we come together, we help our community thrive.

Thank you Women United!
