SOUPER BOWL OF CARING
More than 20 years ago, the Souper Bowl of Caring began from a simple prayer from a single youth group: “Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, let us to be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup to eat.” Since that day, more than $81 million has been raised for local charities across the country through Souper Bowl of Caring. It has become a powerful movement that is transforming the time around Super Bowl weekend into the nation’s largest celebration of giving and serving. Be part of this movement that is sharing God’s love with those in need. Please give generously on Super Bowl Sunday. Every dollar and canned good donated goes to ACCA, our 2012 Souper Bowl of Caring charity of choice.
