Isaac's aims to help feed the hungry

Lancaster-based Isaac's Restaurant & Deli is looking to raise $50,000 to help feed the hungry in Central Pennsylvania.

During the month of April, visit one of Isaac's 20-some restaurants and purchase a bowl of soup. For every bowl sold, Isaac's will donate $1 to feed the hungry. They'll also donate $2 for every quart sold and $4 for every gallon of soup that is purchased during the month.

Isaac's also is selling $1 raffle tickets towards the prize of a $50 gift card to its restaurants. All of the proceeds will go towards their soup fund. The fundraiser will benefit the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, the Greater Berks Food Bank and PhilAbundance. So far they've raised just over $25,000. I realize there's only a couple weeks left to April, but we can still help this business reach -- and surpass -- its goal.

The group is fairly well known for their delicious Pepperjack Tomato soup, so why not enjoy a bowl of this old favorite or tantalize your taste buds with a new flavor if you've never tried it before. What are you waiting for? Make plans this week to head out, buy yourself, your friends and your family some soup and enjoy your meal -- knowing that you did a little something for more stomachs than just your own. Oh, and don't forget to pick up a couple raffle tickets!
