We honor Chef Odette's legacy by supporting women facing ovarian cancer, advancing early-detection science, and feeding families who need us most.
Soup for Hope was born from the life and legacy of Chef Odette Smith — a woman who fed thousands, taught hundreds, and cared for everyone who sat at her table. When ovarian cancer entered her life, everything changed. But her spirit didn't. Her belief that comfort is love became the heartbeat of this organization.
We exist to make sure women are supported, held, and cared for during the hardest moments of their lives — and to help families recognize early signs of ovarian cancer long before it's too late.
