Pay-What-You-Can

Stone Soup is "pay-what-you-can" because we are committed to breaking down social barriers like class, race, ability, and age, to create a beloved community and build solidarity. We want to create a space where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their ability to pay. Our Pay-What-You-Can model relies on connection, relationship-building, and trust to succeed! It invites us all to participate at any level in which we can.
