Additionally, the fifth annual Soup for Shelter will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15 at Nativity of Our Lord gymnasium, (St. Mary site) 125 E. King Street in Rhinelander. The doors will open at 5 p.m., with dinner being served at 5:30 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., the winners of the basket raffles, along with door prizes will be announced. Arriving early ensures one will have a chance to look over the raffle items.
Local restaurants and organizations have once again been generous with donations of their specialty soups and breads, NATH said in a press release announcing the event. Volunteers are creating desserts, while other businesses are donating supplies and raffle items or baskets. NATH's Community Outreach and Fundraising Committee is hosting this event and are promoting it by placing posters at various locations. All proceeds will go to Frederick Place, the homeless shelter in Rhinelander, which supports the homeless from a five-county area: Oneida, Vilas, Lincoln, Forest and Langlade counties.
There is no ticket price for dinner, but a free will offering will be accepted at the door.
