Turning Good Food into Good Days Across Our Community
At La Soupe, our mission is clear: rescue nutritious food, transform it with care, and share it as ready-to-eat meals that nourish our community. Every partnership we build is rooted in that purpose — ensuring good food never goes to waste and that neighbors can count on dignified, delicious meals.
One way this mission comes to life is through La Soupe’s partnership with Last Mile Market, a trusted rescue and distribution partner that helps extend the reach of our meals into neighborhoods across Cincinnati. Through this collaboration, La Soupe’s freshly prepared soups and entrées are shared weekly with families in Avondale, Price Hill, and the Villages of Roll Hill — meeting people where they are with food that is ready to enjoy.
At the heart of this work is La Soupe’s kitchen. Ingredients rescued from local partners such as Kroger, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Fresh Market are brought into our Rescue Kitchen, where professional chefs transform them into nourishing meals. Those meals are then shared back into the community through partners like Last Mile, completing a powerful cycle of rescue, transformation, and impact.
La Soupe’s meals provide something essential at each distribution: consistency. While produce and rescued grocery items may change week to week, families know they can always count on receiving a wholesome, chef-prepared meal from La Soupe — food that saves time, reduces stress, and offers comfort during busy or challenging moments. It’s common to hear neighbors ask, “What did La Soupe make today?”
That reliability has helped strengthen this partnership and expand its reach. In 2025, the number of weekly distributions doubled, supported by La Soupe’s commitment to providing meals at every location. So far this year, more than 10,800 bags of food have been shared, with La Soupe meals playing a dependable role in every distribution.
Through partnerships like this, La Soupe continues to advance its mission — feeding Cincinnati with rescued food, transformed into meals that nourish, restore dignity, and bring people together.
