Fear not. I have an easy solution for you that can be implemented in your church, school or even at work. It's the chance to feed the hungry (one of the Corporal Works of Mercy) in your local community while participating in a program that stretches across the United States.
Souper Bowl of Caring, founded in 1990 by a youth group from Spring Valley Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC, asks groups to collect canned food and monetary donations to support a local charity that distributes food to needy families. That's right. The funds are not funneled back to the parent organization. You are free to give the collected food and money directly to the local charity of your choice.
The official dates for the drive are from January 18, 2016 to February 7, 2016 (Super Bowl Sunday. Get it. It's a pun!). The idea is to collect food and money leading up to the Super Bowl.
Whether you collect a lot or a little is okay. Every bit collected will help a family in need.
Head over to the official website of Souper Bowl of Caring where you can download resources and register your organization to "officially" be part of the event. It's all free.
Now that you know, why are you still hanging around here? Let's get busy feeding the hungry during this, the Jubilee Year of Mercy!
