23rd Annual DVIP “Souper Bowl”–our biggest community fundraising event of the year!  Held each year, we invite guests to join us for an all-you-care-to-eat soup supper, featuring over 40 soups, donated from area restaurants.

The “Souper Bowl” was created by our Executive Director, Kristie Fortmann-Doser, to challenge the myth that more violence occurs against women around the NFL Super bowl. Violence against women happens every day and 1 in 4 women will be affected by intimate partner abuse in their lifetime. Last year, DVIP served over 1900 survivors.

The DVIP “Souper Bowl” is often described as a family reunion as many people come back year after year to eat delicious soups and catch up with old friends. A tradition of the event, and why many say it is so special, is that each guest gets to pick out a donated ceramic bowl to take home! The bowl represents community, giving, and remembrance of the victims we serve.

This beloved community event raises funds for victims of intimate partner abuse, human trafficking, stalking and harassment for eight Southeastern Iowa counties and we thank those in our area who help make this successful each year!
