Why Bowls & Bakers Is Growing

For years, Bowls & Bakers has brought our community together over great food for an even greater cause. This year, KAFASI is expanding the event because the need across Kenosha County continues to grow.

Executive Director Sheb Judah envisioned adding an evening event to make Bowls & Bakers accessible to even more people, especially working professionals, local businesses, and community members who haven’t been able to attend during the traditional daytime lunch.

With two opportunities to attend on November 4, supporters can choose the event that best fits their schedule or attend both while making an even greater impact.

🥣 Daytime Soup Competition

Best Soup West of I – 94

11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

🥣 Evening Soup Competition

Best Soup East or West of I – 94

Come hungry as restaurants east and west of I-94 face off in a friendly soup competition! You’ll enjoy incredible flavors, baked goods, exciting raffles, live band, networking, and vote to crown this year’s favorite soups.

“Bowls & Bakers has always been about bringing people together to support our neighbors. By adding an evening event, we’re creating another opportunity for families, businesses, and professionals to experience this incredible event while helping ensure KAFASI can continue meeting the growing needs of our community.”

— Sheb Judah, Executive Director

A Growing Need in Kenosha County

Every day, KAFASI’s Meals on Wheels program delivers far more than a nutritious meal. It delivers peace of mind, companionship, and a vital connection that helps older adults remain healthy, safe, and independent in their own homes.

Today, KAFASI serves more than 400 seniors throughout Kenosha County and delivers more than 72,900 meals each year. For many participants, a volunteer’s visit is more than a meal delivery. It’s a friendly conversation, a wellness check, and reassurance that someone cares.

The need continues to grow.

Kenosha County is now home to more than 24,000 residents age 65 and older, and that number continues to increase as more older adults choose to age safely and independently in their own homes.

While KAFASI works every day to meet local needs, continued support from businesses, volunteers, community partners, and donors is essential to ensure no senior is left behind.

Be Part of the Difference

Every bowl served, every ticket purchased, and every sponsorship helps KAFASI continue providing essential programs and services that allow older adults throughout Kenosha County to live healthier, safer, and more independent lives.

Whether you’re looking for a fun lunch with coworkers, an evening out with friends, or an opportunity to give back through your business, Bowls & Bakers offers a meaningful way to make an impact.

Reserve Your Spot

Join us on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, for one—or both—of our exciting Bowls & Bakers events. Purchase your tickets today and help us continue serving our neighbors throughout Kenosha County.
