Celebrating 20 Years of Caring!
This year marks a special event for the Souper Bowl
of Caring.
On February 1, 2009 we had been 20 years since the
youth of Spring Valley Presbyterian Church in Columbia,
SC addressed the issue of hunger in their community with
this Souper Bowl Sunday prayer:
"Lord as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help
us to be mindful of those without even bowl of soup to
eat."
The prayer inspired this single church to invite 21
other congregations to join them in collecting $5,700,
which was donated to local charities that provide
assistance to those in need.
Over the past 20 years, more than $50 million has
been raised in cash and food for organizations that
fight hunger. From a simple prayer and a single youth
group, the Souper Bowl of Caring has become a powerful
nationwide movement that touched more lives each
year.
Be part of this movement that begins in our backyard
and reaches across the nation, sharing God's love
with those who need our compassion and care. Please give
generously as our youth collect donations on Super Bowl
Sunday. Every penny collected will go to help our
neighbors in need.
Thank You!
