A book and soup drive is being organized in light of the recent tragedy in Connecticut.
Organizers will assemble gifts bags containing the dry ingredients for a soup as well as a book written for people who are grieving.
Participants are asked to assemble dry soup ingredients in a Mason jar and attach the recipe and cooking instructions. For a contribution of $7.25 a book titled “Tear Soup” will be added to their gift bag.
Three dropoff locations have been established, including Maine Racquet & Fitness in Brunswick. Donations will be accepted through Jan. 2.
