Our Background
SSC's 1-Year Anniversary Mutual Aid Fair 2026
Saturday, September 26 | 2–5 PM
Cal Anderson Park, Seattle
Come celebrate one year of people helping people with Stone Soup Crew! We’re bringing our community together for a completely free afternoon of food, resources, clothing, art, music, activities, a silent auction, and more.
Over the past year, Stone Soup Crew has grown from an idea into a community that serves more than 250 neighbors each week. This fair is a chance to celebrate everything we’ve built together, connect people with organizations and resources across our community, and have some actual fun while we’re at it.
There’s no admission, no paperwork, and no requirement to receive anything. Come eat, find resources, meet your neighbors, dance, hang out, or just spend the afternoon with us.
There is always a place at our table.

Join the Table!
SSC will be serving home-cooked meals in the Shelter House. We will also have activities for self-care and fun. Attend the clothing swap, get your nails done or face painted, and avail yourself of the resources present. Everyone is welcome to partake!
Keep the Table Open!
Our Mutual Aid Fair is also a fundraiser for Stone Soup Crew. We’ll have a silent auction packed with donations from local businesses, artists, makers, and community members, and every dollar raised goes straight back into the community.
Nobody takes a salary. All the money goes straight back into the community.
That means the money raised at the fair becomes hot meals, hygiene supplies, wound care, clothing, tents, sleeping bags, blankets, and all the other things we put directly into folx’s hands every week.
Come eat, dance, meet some amazing people, bid on something ridiculous or wonderful, and help us head into year two ready to keep showing up.
Silent Auction: What will you win?
A huge thank-you to all the incredible local organizations, businesses, and individuals who donated items to our silent auction! You must be present to bid - bidding lasts from 2-4pm, and items must be picked up before 5pm.
