The Soup Box

29/05/2026

This one's been simmering for a while. 🍲

Today we're ladling out the brand new identity for The Soup Box; a Toowoomba community initiative that's spent three years turning one extra item at the Farmers Market into something remarkable.

Born from a soapbox moment at a Toowoomba networking breakfast, The Soup Box has redirected $25,000 worth of local produce into 100+ nutritious meals a day at Base Services for community members doing it tough.

Our community is the hero. The Soup Box just holds the space.

This rebrand, and the website coming soon, was made possible through our Creatimore Community Grant. It's yet another meaningful and fulfilling project to come through our studio, and we're genuinely proud to put our name to it.

These are just some of the faces of our farmers and producers at Toowoomba Farmers Market who have supported The Soup Box over the last three years. These gorgeous humans are the salt of the earth and we are so grateful they show up every week and continue to defy all the challenges weather, government and the economy throws at them.

From my heart, the communities heart and the heart of our vulnerable friends we thank you.

First board meeting today

This is an appreciation post for the incredible businesses helping shape the next chapter of

What began as a community-led initiative, supported by a handful of generous businesses who believed in it from the very beginning, is now stepping into its next evolution.

In 2026, The Soup Box will become a national NFP, made possible by the expertise, generosity, and commitment of our foundational partners guiding this transition.

Enterprise Legal have been working behind the scenes to establish the structure and governance required. Johnathon has also accepted the invitation to join as a founding Board member, alongside Erin Wright from Ordinis Advisory bringing deep expertise in governance and financial strategy.

Creativore has generously offered a Community Grant to bring our website, brand assets, and refreshed identity to life, I cannot wait to see this unfold.

MJ Communications has come on board with her experience in journalism and storytelling to expand our reach and share these stories nationally.

And finally, Alison and Roy from Shoebox Books & Tax Toowoomba Southwill support the accounting and compliance required to operate as a registered charity.

This next chapter is built on both the businesses who helped the begin, and those now helping us grow. Deep gratitude to all of you.

How exciting is this. I mean I wish it wasn’t necessary in the first place but at least it will provide the much needed space. Base Services is where the majority of the fresh produce gifted by our community during season goes to create nutritious meals.

✨ Big news! ✨
We’ve raised $800,000 through our BASE is Out of Space campaign — enough for a significant deposit on a new building.
This is a huge milestone and a testament to the generosity of our community.
Watch this space… big things are coming.
