SOUPER BOWL OF CARING: Tackling Hunger at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Now through Sunday, Feb. 5:  Bring in canned soup, stew, other nonperishable foods and cash donations to fight hunger in our community.

-- WHERE: Drop off donations in GSLC Lobby's in marked baskets. You can play favorites and "vote" with cans/food in boxes marked with NFL team helmets: Patriots VS Giants in Super Bowl XLVI!

-- WHEN: Bring in food anytime Sundays during worship 9am - 12:30pm, weekdays 9am - 5pm through Feb. 5, Super Bowl Sunday.

-- WHO: Anyone can donate to appeal, with nonperishable food and monetary donations going to Gaithersburg HELP Food Pantry.

-- WHY WE GIVE: 1 in 7 households in our nation experience food insecurity each day. Started 22 years ago to coincide with the NFL Super Bowl, “Souper Bowl of Caring” has grown to a nationwide annual event involving thousands of partners like Good Shepherd and raising millions to tackle hunger. Souper Bowl’s symbol of a soup pot reminds us to reach out to those without even a bowl of soup to eat.   

-- Thanks to Good Shepherd’s Youth and GSLC Social Ministry for shepherding this annual appeal to fight hunger and raise awareness of community needs.
