More than 30 years ago the Souper Bowl of Caring began with a simple prayer from a single youth group:
Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.
Since that day more than $153 million has been raised for local charities across the country though the Souper Bowl of Caring. It has become a powerful movement that is transforming the time around the big game into the nation’s largest celebration of giving and serving.
Through this mission, young people learn what it’s like to make a positive difference in the world – as they collect food, raise money, and volunteer to work in charities that provide shelter to the homeless, food to the hungry, and compassion to those in need.
Be part of this movement that is sharing God’s love with those in need. Souper Bowl Sunday will help families dealing with food insecurities by the donating to Hanson Food Pantry. The Youth and the Missions committee will be collecting non-perishable foods, personal hygiene products, paper goods, disposable diapers, laundry soap, etc. Monetary donations and gifts cards are also welcomed.
