Attention Teachers and Youth Organizers! Using Super Bowl weekend as a rallying point, the Souper Bowl of Caring is nation-wide initiative led by youth groups in faith communities and schools that will raise funds for local anti-hunger efforts.

During the 2009 Super Bowl weekend, local youth groups in Western Mass. raised nearly $7,000 for The Food Bank. While the campaign has historically been focused on faith groups, this year school and community youth-led groups are encouraged to participate. Contact The Food Bank if your youth group, church or school would like to participate in 2010.
