FAQ’s
What is Free Soup & Games Night?
Free Soup & Games Night (FS&GN) is a monthly benefit event held at Hope & Olive the first Monday of each month. People come and enjoy a free buffet of soups & breads, etc. grab a drink from the bar if they wish, and sit down with friends to play games or chat. It is the intention of FS&GN to bring support to under-funded community organizations, and at the same time, to bring people together for a cheap and fun night out.
Those who wish to can make a donation to the organization of the month by adding to the donation jar, buying stuff from a bake sale, or raffle tickets… All of the bar proceeds are donated to the beneficiary, as are the tips from the volunteer bartenders.

How Are the Beneficiaries Selected?
There are 11 Beneficiaries chosen each year and are selected by the partners of Hope & Olive. Beneficiaries tend to be not for profit organizations, arts organizations, and social services that have lost funding or are otherwise falling through the cracks. We ask interested parties to write a letter stating who they are, and how the money raised will be used. Priority is given to Franklin County based groups, but all are welcome to apply.
We review the applicants and schedule a year at a time.
