SOUP is so much more than renovating spaces - it’s about right sizing the Commonwealth’s footprint 👣. When we reduce space by digitizing documents 📄 and maximizing owned space and exiting leased space 🏡, we are saving taxpayers money.

From the official website, “the Capitol Hunger Garden first broke ground in 2010 with one, simple goal: to create a garden that would provide healthy food to help those in need and to serve as a valuable tool to raise awareness of hunger issues in Pennsylvania.”

Capitol Police’s recent DUI checkpoint wasn’t just about arresting impaired drivers, there was a larger emphasis on child safety. During the checkpoint, 12 new child seats were installed for the families to take home, free of charge, and 6 adjustments were made.
