What would happen if every American who celebrates the Super Bowl donated one can of food or $1 to fight hunger and poverty in his or her local community? That’s the purpose of the Souper Bowl of Caring, a national effort that started 20 years ago.

You and your group can join this effort to feed those who are hungry, provide shelter to those who are homeless and assist our neighbors in need.

Join the Souper Bowl of Caring and help make this vision a reality! For more than 20 years, youth groups just like yours have joined forces across America to share God’s love with our neighbors in need. To date, more than $60 million in cash and cans has been collected and donated in communities throughout the United States. Every penny stays local, and every collection matters!

Here’s how you can get started today!

1. REGISTER your congregation to receive your monthly e-newsletter and a free resource kit to help promote your event.
2. COLLECT money and/or canned foods any time on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010.
3. REPORT the amount of your collection to the Souper Bowl of Caring so it can be added to the national tally.
4. DONATE 100 percent of your collection to the charity of your choice in your own community.
