Soup for the Soul Fundraiser Helps Bring Art Therapy to Local Hospital Patients



Enjoy a bowl of soup and help support the Arts in Healing program at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Children's Hospital. Over the past five years, Soup for the Soul has raised nearly $17,000 to integrate art therapy into a patient's hospital stay.

Every Wednesday in October, participating area restaurants donate a portion of their soup sales to Soup for the Soul.

Research indicates that creative therapies lessen stress and anxiety, reduce the need for acute pain management, shorten hospital stays and provide a crucial element in the healing process, especially for children. For many patients, Arts in Healing has made hospitalization and treatment tolerable.

The mother of a pediatric cancer patient writes: "There were days while here at the hospital that jewelry making, craft projects or drawing and writing were the only things that would motivate her to interact or talk with others. She had become very self-conscious as she had lost her hair twice while going through treatment. These activities were the perfect distraction for a little girl afraid to present herself to the world as a cancer patient."

You can support Providence Arts in Healing by enjoying soup at the following restaurants Wednesdays in October:

*The Barrel Steak & Seafood House
*Fieldhouse Pizza & Pub - two locations
*Morty's Tap & Grille
*The Screaming Yak
*Selkirk Pizza & Tap House
*Steelhead Bar & Grille
High Nooner - all four locations
Take Five/Cafe Fresca (Holy Family Cafeteria)
The Little Garden Cafe
Maple Street Bistro
Picabu Bistro
The Cafe at Sacred Heart (Sacred Heart Cafeteria)
Something Else Deli
Waterfall Cafe (St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute)

*Donating proceeds during entire month of October, not only on Wednesdays.
