Souper Bowl of Caring

We will once again participate in the Souper Bowl of Caring for the Seventh year. Holy Trinity Youth have participated the past 6 years and have raised $3,190. Last year we collected 256 non-perishable food items. This year we encourage all youth and those who feel like youth to wear thei favorite sports jersey on February 5th. We are asking for members to contribute to this cause. Food will go to Tri-City Volunteers or LOV Newark with donations being split between Centerville Free Dining and Irvington Free Breakfast.

The Souper Bowl of Caring started in 1990 and involved 22 churches throughout Columbia, South Carolina. The youth of those churches raised $5,700 for local food kitchens. Last year over 10,173 youth organizations participated and raised over $9.6 million across the nation.

Holy Trinity Youth has participated in this event for the past 5 years and have donated over $3,190.50 to Irvington Free Breakfast and Centerville Free Dining and we collected 313 non-perishable food items that were delivered to LUV-Newark.

This year we will again be asking for cash donations to fund our local soup kitchens we are also asking for non-perishable food items to be donated. Food donations will be split between the Holy Trinity food pantry and the Community Food barrel.

As just a thought...if you are attending or hosting a Super Bowl party please consider putting out a donation basket or jar and asking your guests to donate $1.00 or any amount for each beverage they consume. REturn your donation on February 12th.

Over 35 million Americans live in households considered "food insecure" and 37% of adults requesting emergency food assistance is employed.

"Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those whitout even a bowl of soup to eat."
