Want to be part of a winning team in Charlotte this Super Bowl season? Consider yourself drafted to play in the Souper Bowl of Caring, a national movement to address the needs of our neighbors who are struggling with hunger.
Loaves and Fishes, a local non-profit emergency food pantry program, will be collecting food donations at Myers Park Presbyterian Church on Saturday, February 4th through Monday, February 6th. Additional collection sites will also be available all over the Charlotte area. In 2015 Loaves and Fishes served 71,799 people in our community, 48% of whom were children.
Think about how many people will gather to watch the big game this Sunday: What if each person celebrating the Super Bowl gave a donation of money or food to those in need? Will Anderson, a local teen who serves on the national youth advisory board for this effort, notes that last year an impressive $960, 000 was raised in North Carolina through the Souper Bowl of Caring– but that the need is even greater.
Let’s outdo ourselves this year, Charlotte! Please consider making a donation before heading out to your Super Bowl festivity. Or consider collecting donations from friends and family at your Super Bowl party to drop off at Myers Park Presbyterian Church.
