Queer Soup Night Poughkeepsie
Calling all upstate queers! We’re gathering at the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory (PUF) cafe for soup and bread! All are welcome.
Please bring some cash for food donations (suggested donation $10—$20). You can also donate via Venmo. We’re excited to be supporting Hudson River Housing‘s Aspiring Entrepreneurs Fund.
Consider bringing your own spoon (BYOS) to reduce our environmental impact!

About Hudson River Housing
Hudson River Housing‘s Aspiring Entrepreneurs Fund provides resources to entrepreneurs who seek to use the Open Kitchen to launch or grow their food or beverage business. Funds raised from this event will be prioritized to support LGBTQIA entrepreneurs.
The Poughkeepsie Open Kitchen is part of the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory (PUF), the anchor project in Hudson River Housing’s work to support and champion the Middle Main Street corridor of Poughkeepsie. The Open Kitchen is a shared-use commercial kitchen that supports inclusive economic growth through the stewardship of locally grown entrepreneurs.
COVID Safety
The event will take place in the cafe/kitchen at Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory. Seating will be available inside (max capacity 50) with limited seating outside.
Vaccines are kindly requested for those eating indoors. Out of an abundance of caution, masks are required indoors (ex: while getting soup) unless eating.
(Questions or thoughts about COVID safety? Get in touch!)
Accessibility
