Beginning in May, 2009 Pastiche Modern Eatery, 3025 N. Campbell Ave. will feature “Chicken Soup With a Secret Ingredient” to benefit the Community Food Bank.
Pastiche chicken soup not only nourishes the body, but warms the heart. For every bowl of chicken soup purchased, Pastiche will donate $2 to the Community Food Bank. $1 will be donated to the food bank for every cup of soup purchased. Chicken soup (the type of soup may change, but it will always be chicken soup of some kind) will be featured on the Pastiche menu year around.
The $2 donation for a bowl of soup by Pastiche will allow the Community Food Bank to distribute $18 of food.
“The Community Food Bank is excited about the Chicken Soup promotion sponsored by Pastiche,” said Bill Carnegie, President/CEO. “If there was ever a time we needed a little Chicken Soup for Tucson’s Soul, this is it.”
“Chicken Soup With a Secret Ingredient” will be available at Pastiche Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to Midnight and Saturday and Sunday from 4:30 PM to Midnight.

Last year the Letter Carriers’ Food Drive collected over 334,000 pounds of food in one day. This is the Community Food Bank’s largest of the year.
The main shift when help is needed is 2:00 PM to 6 PM, however there are some morning slots available. People may volunteer at a post office near their homes.
The following post offices need volunteers:
Also needed are people willing to drive their own trucks to collect food that carriers cannot cover.
Volunteers transfer food from Letter Carriers’ trucks into semi-trailers. There will be a Community Food Bank staff member at each location to serve as a “Team Captain.” Groups and individuals are welcome
To volunteer, call the Community Food Bank Volunteer Manager at (520) 622-0525 x 204.
