Saint Andrew’s is participating in a national effort to help those who are hungry.  It is called “SOUPer Bowl of Caring” and is held in connection with the Super Bowl.  On February 8th – Super Bowl Sunday (Go, Hawks!) -  we will be having a special collection to address hunger in our neighborhoods. 

Hunger is everywhere in our community, from the suburbs on the Eastside to South King County to the streets of Downtown Seattle. It affects everyone: working families, the elderly, young adults and especially children.  One in eight children in Washington State face hunger.

As we get excited about the big game on February 8th let’s make an extra effort to fight hunger.  Before and after the service that day, members of our church will be in the narthex collecting food and donations for this effort. 

The key items being collected are:

  • Canned Hearty Soup (It IS the SOUPer Bowl!)
  • Canned Chili and other meals: (Spaghetti-O’s, Ravioli. Pork and Beans, Beef Stew, etc.)
  • Canned Fruit (~ 15 ounce, preferably NOT in heavy syrup)
  • Jars of Pasta Sauce (~24 ounces)
  • Boxes of cereal (especially name brands)
  • Ramen, Cup of Noodles, Noodle Kits, etc.

Hopelink provides a wide variety of food through their food bank. 

Look for a detailed “shopping list” in the Sunday bulletin or in the narthex.  Everything collected will go to the Hopelink Food Bank in Bellevue.  All money donated will be used by Hopelink to buy the food items required to provide needed nutrition to those who are hungry right in our neighborhoods.

So, come to church on February 8th, fired up about the Seahawks and the big game and ready to make a difference (a SOUPer difference) for those who are hungry.
