The Stewpot's 18^th annual Soup’s On Luncheon and Art Show, presented by H-E-B/Central Market, returns to Thompson Dallas on Monday, February 2, 2026, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Co-chairing the annual fundraising event hosted by The Stewpot Alliance are community leaders Cory and Shane Bowen, along with Ashley and Danny Ellis. Dale Petroskey, CEO of the Dallas Regional Chamber, will be the honorary chair.                                                                                               

“Living in Harmony” is the theme of next year’s luncheon which features keynote speaker Hailee Kaleem Wright, an actor, singer and songwriter currently starring in Moulin Rouge on Broadway. Raised in Houston, Hailee experienced homelessness at a young age and shares her journey to become a Broadway star.

"We are deeply thankful for the sponsors, donors and volunteers whose dedication makes this event—and our daily work—possible. We look forward to a meaningful event in February to raise support that allows us to feed, house, care for and empower more people each year."

Proceeds from the luncheon benefit The Stewpot, which celebrated a 50-year milestone in 2025. The Stewpot loves and serves our Dallas neighbors, helping them overcome homelessness and poverty by providing breakfast, lunch and dinner, counseling and case management, rapid rehousing, medical and dental services via onsite partners, youth and family stabilization programs, as well as therapeutic and vocational activities.

As always, some of Dallas’ finest chefs are invited to join Chef Brian C. Luscher of 33 Restaurant Group, the force behind popular restaurant concepts including Suburban Yacht Club, Union Bear and Taverna Rossa to prepare the first course of the meal.
