Jersey's annual charity soup kitchen returns to the Royal Square today.
44 soups have been donated by hotels, restaurants and community groups to raise money for the Shelter Trust for the Homeless.
£165,000 been collected since the first event 21 years ago.
Organisers expect to serve 4,000 cups of soup and often sell out before the kitchen is due to close at 2:30pm.
"For £3 minimum donation, people will get their chosen soup plus a big chunk of French bread. There will be singing from eight school choirs who will be singing festive music throughout the day. The weather is going to be fantastic and we are looking forward to a really great day."
All the money raised goes to the Shelter Trust, which has helped 458 islanders so far in 2019.
"The money that we raise will go to the 100 or so people in our four shelters this Christmas, and it will help make Christmas a bit more comfortable than it would have been."
You can use the menu below to pick out your favourites before the soup kitchen opens at 10:30am:
