Souper Bowl of Caring

1921.jpg

Since 1990 this simple prayer has been spoken: "Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl Football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat"  is inspiring a youth-led movement to help hungry and hurting people around the world.

This prayer, delivered by Brad Smith, then a seminary intern serving at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC, gave birth to an idea.  Why not use Super Bowl weekend, a time when people come together for football and fun, to also unify the nation for a higher good:  Collecting dollars and canned food for the needy?

Last year, GCOB collected $1,179.69.  Global Food added an additional $500.00.  The total that the Souper Bowl of Caring collected in 2009 was $10,392,780.00. WOW!

This year, we're asking for your help to feed the hungry, the ones that are hurting. 

Please remember to bring your dollars and coins on February 7, 2010 and added it to the soup pots.

NO 2 cents will be collected on this day.

Thanks for Giving not just with your dollars, but with your prayers and talents.
