Ladle of Love Luncheon at Open Door Mission Set for April 29th

On Sunday, April 29 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., Open Door Mission (www.opendoormission.org) will host their annual Ladle of Love Luncheon at Garland Thompson Men’s Center, 2705 N. 20th St. E in Omaha.

Guests are invited to warm their hearts while also filling their stomachs with delicious soups and breads prepared by area chefs. This year the signature event has new spring date and location that offers much more space with use of an outdoor tent in the parking lot. Live Cajun-style music will be provided by Omaha’s own Prairie Gators.

Those in attendance are encouraged to cast a vote for their favorite soup and then stay to see which chefs will walk away with the Ladle of Love awards. After lunch, optional tours will be offered to give attendees a chance to see firsthand all that’s happening at Open Door Mission and to view artwork created by guests who have found safe shelter there.

Cost of the event is $10 in advance and $12 at the door for adults and $6 for children ages 6-12. Admission is free for children 5 and under. Event proceeds provide basic needs and life-changing programs for the hungry and homeless.
