COMMUNITY PROMISE

At Soul & Smoke we are firm believers in paying it forward. Soul & Smoke’s growth and success directly supports underserved communities, especially on the south side of Chicago, and in Evanston’s 5th ward.

In collaboration with Chef José Andres of World Central Kitchen, as well as the Evanston Community Foundation we were able to provide over 200,000 meals to the Chicago community during the pandemic. Chef D’Andre remains a part of the WCK Chef Corps and is also a board member of The Trotter Project, and a member of the Illinois Restaurant Association Advisory Council.

In addition, our Evanston restaurant location offers a 24-hour community fridge, supplying meals free of charge to anyone in need. Click below to donate to our community fridge!
