Case Study: Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen raises $340K+ through peer-to-peer Fast-a-Thons with CauseVox

How Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen’s Annual Peer-to-Peer Fast-a-Thon Raises Thousands

Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen is a Manhattan nonprofit that serves roughly 1,000 hot meals each weekday and relies on steady, cost‑effective fundraising to meet the ongoing hunger crisis in New York City. With limited staff and budget, the organization needed a reliable, user‑friendly online platform to efficiently expand donor reach and run recurring campaigns.

Using CauseVox since 2013, Holy Apostles runs its annual Fast-a-Thon as a peer‑to‑peer, social‑sharing campaign with built‑in recruitment and reminder tools, allowing supporters to create personalized pages and spread the word. Over 10 campaigns they’ve raised more than $340,000 (often bringing in around $80,000 per Fast-a-Thon), and the platform’s ease and support have let the team focus on fundraising growth rather than technical issues.
