Souper Bowl of Caring

It’s Super Bowl time! And that means it’s also Souper Bowl of Caring Time.

The Community Shelter of Union County is gearing up for the Super Bowl by participating in the national Souper Bowl of Caring, a movement that encourages residents to support our community neighbors experiencing hunger and homelessness.

The local campaign benefits Community Shelter programs that provide emergency shelter, food and rehousing to Union County residents. Can you help support the hungry and homeless in Union County?

Every year, individual schools in the UCPS system plus churches, businesses, individuals and neighborhoods host fundraising drives for our Souper Bowl of Caring, typically raising more than $25,000 to feed the hungry and house the homeless in Union County.

We’ve added an online donation platform to help you quickly build fundraising teams for your organization. You can see the campaign build among groups and share your creativity.

The campaign runs through March 15.

East Frank Superette and Kitchen hosted our second Souper Bowl cookoff among seven restaurants. The restaurants prepared signature soups which attendees tasted, then voted for their favorite with contributions. Really fun event. And East Frank won the competition this year. Plus they also matched all the donations!
