A simple prayer that started a movement of caring:
Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.
The Souper Bowl of Caring utilizes Super Bowl weekend to mobilize youth to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities. Its vision is to transform Super Bowl weekend into the nation's largest youth-led weekend of giving and serving. 100% of the money and food is then given directly to charities of the group's choice.
Souper Bowl of Caring started in South Carolina in 1990. It raised $5,700 between 22 participating churches. In 2008, over 14,000 groups collected over $10 million in cash and food donations.
Sunday, February 1st, the Youth Group of Martin Luther Church passed soup bowls throughout the congregation to collect cash donations for hunger.
