Souper Bowl of Caring!

Souper Bowl of Caring

As most of you know the SUPER BOWL is coming up! While we have enough food to stuff our faces while we watch the game, local hunger-relief charities are asking for our help!


The Souper Bowl of Caring is youth across the nation working to fight hunger and poverty in their own communities around the time of the Super Bowl football game. 100% of donations go directly to the organization. 

Last year more than 10,000 groups collected more than $9.8 million dollars and food for local hunger-relief charities. Help us grow this movement and tackle hunger in America!

Bring canned food or ANY donation you can spare, even if it's as little as your change from lunch. 
The collection bins are in Shaw. This event will be happening the entire month of February! 


Come help support!
