Starting on September 16, Police, Firefighters & EMTs Can Enjoy Complimentary Soup In 68 Communities Throughout the Northeast
WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Community first responders play a critical role in the health and wellness of seniors. This fall, once again, Benchmark Senior Living, a leading senior living provider in the Northeast, is honoring SOUPer-heroes, including police, firefighters and EMTs, with complimentary, comforting homemade soup prepared by Benchmark chefs.
Starting on Tuesdays from September 16 through October 28, from 11AM to 2PM, Benchmark's second annual SOUPer Tuesday will welcome first responders into its 68 communities throughout New England, in New York and Alexandria, Virginia for complimentary soup to-go in a thermos, so they can enjoy a quick lunch on the go.
"Nothing warms the body and soul like hot, homemade soup," said Pam Filby, senior vice president of sales, Benchmark Senior Living. "Being a first responder today is incredibly stressful and, often times, they skip lunch altogether. At our communities throughout the Northeast, we work closely with these SOUPer-heroes daily and see the incredible work they do and the sacrifices they make to ensure seniors are supported, so we're excited to give back to them in this way."
Benchmark chefs are known for creating outstanding seasonal soups and stews, among other dishes, that are sought-after by residents and Benchmark associates alike. A highlight of the Benchmark experience is restaurant-style dining, featuring chef-prepared dishes served all day. Throughout its over 28-year history, Benchmark chefs have earned dozens of culinary awards for taste, presentation and more.
Benchmark's first annual SOUPer Tuesday program was held last year, serving hundreds of first responders. The second annual event is hoping to reach even more.
