SOUPER BOWL OF CARING

Each year, around the time of the Super Bowl football game, Souper Bow of Caring mobilizes youth to collect dollars and soup cans for hunger relief organizations in their local communities. 100% of oney collected goes directly to the charity of their choice. None of the money goes to Souper Bowl of Caring national headqurters. Visit their website: souperbowl.org to find out more details and shop their online store to support the national headquarters efforts.

TACKLE HUNGER

A 2009 U.S. Census Bureau report recently showed the number of Americans living in poverty has reached its highest level in 51 years, rising above 14%. That leaves one in five children in our country living inpoverty and means even more people will be turning to food pantries this winter for help feeding their families.

Help the youth of SUMC support the local food pantries by donating your cans of soup and dropping them off in our soup can dispalys located in the church's narthex.
