About Stone Soup PDX

Stone Soup PDX builds economic stability for people facing barriers to employment through hands-on culinary training and our community meals program. Our approach goes beyond workforce development, offering our participants not only new skills but also greater confidence, an expanded network of support, and the opportunity to imagine a better future for themselves and their families. 

​

Co-founded by social entrepreneurs Craig and Ronit Gerard, Stone Soup PDX opened its doors in 2019. Five years later, Stone Soup’s new strategic plan honors the vision of our founders as the organization adapts and grows to meet the evolving needs of our community.
