Let’s Make Stone Soup Together

There’s a wonderful old story about hungry travelers who convince a village to share a little of what they each have to create a delicious soup for everyone to share. On its own, a single carrot or potato doesn’t seem like much. But together, the community creates a feast.

At Island to Prairie Ámáári, we believe in the power of ‘Stone Soup.’ You might feel like you can’t solve every challenge alone, but your contribution is the essential ingredient we need. Your time, your skills, your resources—they are the carrots, the onions, and the herbs that will help us create a welcoming, supportive, and nourishing community for all.
