Your impact changes lives when you huddle up your congregation, civic, or school group to participate in this year’s Souper Bowl of Caring and lead them to victory. Now, more than ever, your community needs your help. The number of families struggling to put good food on their tables continues to grow.

The Souper Bowl of Caring is a national movement across the nation working together to fight hunger and poverty in their communities around the time of the Super Bowl football game.

With the Souper Bowl of Caring, you send all the funds you raise directly to the hunger-relief charity of your choice. Choose The Society of St. Andrew this year!

Every dollar you raise for The Society of St. Andrew puts fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables on the plates of children, women, and men in this country, who need it most.

 

It’s easy to join the movement to #tacklehunger and here’s how you do it:

  1. Register your group at tacklehunger.org and select The Society of St. Andrew as your receiving charity. (This website has great planning and worship resources as well as promotional materials— and they’re all free!)
  2. Plan your event for Super Bowl Sunday or the week(s) leading up to the Super Bowl and raise money to feed people struggling with hunger.
  3. Report the total raised to info@tacklehunger.org or 800-358-SOUP.
  4. Report back to your group, congregation, organization, or school- let them know the impact of their Souper Bowl of Caring donations.
  5. Send a check for the amount you’ve raised to The Society of St. Andrew: 3383 Sweet Hollow Road, Big Island, VA 24526. On the memo line, note “Souper Bowl of Caring.”
