About Us

"When my mother was diagnosed with cancer, I was thousands of miles away and not in a position to be with her. All I wanted was to let her know that I loved her. I wanted to care for her the way she had always cared for me."

When her mother passed away, Marti Wymer had the idea to send handcrafted soup to others in need of comfort. In 2008, that effort was less a business plan than a positive outlet for grief. By 2023, Spoonful of Comfort has sent millions of care packages full of soup, sweets, and other nostalgic comforts. More than gift packages or loyalty-forging service, the company is about nourishing relationships.

Spoonful of Comfort began at a kitchen table where Marti assembled care packages filled with fully prepared soup, freshly baked rolls, and oatmeal cookies. Packaged in cheerful yellow, with ribbons hand-tied around each item, the boxes continue to evoke the tastes, memories, and feelings of home. This genuine expression of care was felt by early recipients who received personal deliveries from Marti.

Today, measuring by the number of care packages sent, close to 3 million people have been consoled, inspired, or uplifted because of Marti's vision: "It is my promise to make and deliver a Spoonful of Comfort with as much care as if I were sending it to my own mother."
