Again this year, Saint Andrew’s is participating in a national effort to help those who are hungry.  In 1990 the SOUPer Bowl of Caring began with a simple prayer by a single youth group:
“Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.”

On February 9th, Super Bowl Sunday, we will be having a special collection to address hunger in our community.  Before and after the service on that day, fellow members of our church will be in the narthex, collecting food and donations for this effort.  We all can help by filling the crates with food and the soup pots with donations.

These are the items that Hopelink needs:

  • 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.

Everything collected will go to the HopeLink Food Bank.  All of the money donated will be used by HopeLink to buy the food items required to provide needed nutrition to these hungry neighbors.

So, take this “Shopping List” with you and stock up on items to help our hungry neighbors.  Then come to church on February 9th, excited about the big game and ready to make a big difference (a Souper Difference) for those who are hungry.
