Just kidding. It actually started with trash.
Our neighborhood had a problem with garbage getting dumped everywhere (except in the trash cans) in our trash area. It was pretty gross. The community tried to fix the problem through a couple ideas: fake security cameras, HOA meetings, etc. Still, the trash continued.
The trash made us realize we didn't know our neighbors
We thought the problem would be solved if we knew each other. Neighbors treat their community better when they know who is living next door. So we started to get to know our neighbors.
It turns out, a lot of people don't know their neighbors. And that's a problem larger than trash.

"How do I get to know my neighbors?"
That's what we started hearing when we told people about how we were just going up and introducing ourselves to the people who lived next door. We are pretty friendly, outgoing people, but not everyone is comfortable cold calling strangers.
So we created Coop's Soups!
Coop's Soups are made to share. The soup is a tool, excuse, vehicle, whatever you need it to be to meet and build community.
