Taste of Summer

This week’s recipient of the KPMG Taste of Summer Charity BBQ was Soups On, taking in donations of $2,519, which will go toward their summer family lunch program.

Norma Hildebrand, lunch program director with Soup's On, is thankful for the support.

“I'm honoured. I am excited. Thank you to everyone coming out and enjoying this beautiful day, but mostly for donating to Soup's. So that we, in turn, can help the kids out there.”

Soups On, a local organization providing meals to families and individuals in need, will be the next recipient of donations from this year’s KPMG Taste of Summer Charity BBQ. 

One big family gathering  

Norma Hildebrand, Lunch Program Coordinator at Soups On, says the days they serve the community feel like a family gathering. 

The first Taste of Summer Charity Barbecue of 2025 supported local charity Island Breeze in their quest to bring an international conference to Steinbach.   

Isi Masi with Island Breeze says the $1951.60 raised by this event is going to be extremely helpful.   

The first Taste of Summer Charity BBQ is coming up quickly, "roasting" of great food, and great causes.

The weekly fundraiser kicks off July 2 at 11 a.m. in front of Steinbach Credit Union (SCU), with proceeds from the first event going to Island Breeze, a local charity based just outside Steinbach.
