OUR SAVIOUR EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IS ONCE AGAIN HAVING THEIR ANNUAL "SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY FUNDRAISER"--if you'd like to know more--and perhaps mail a donation--all the info is below--mark the 'memo' section "FOR SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY":
OUR SAVIOUR SAYS: Souper Bowl Sunday is February 2. The Hunger Team, Confirmation class, and Sunday School under the supervision of Jennifer Stieglitz are heading our efforts for the Souper Bowl of Caring. This is a program of youth across the nation working to fight hunger and poverty in their communities around the time of the Super Bowl football game. In the weeks leading up to or on Super Bowl Sunday, young people take up an offering asking for one dollar or one item of food for people in need. They give 100% of their donation directly to the hunger-relief charity of their choice. In 2012, more than 10,000 groups collected more than $9.8 million in dollars and food for local hunger-relief charities. That's a total of more than $90 million collected since the movement began in 1990! Naturally we have our own twist—we ask members to think about how much they spend on their own snacks during the Super Bowl and to donate something proportionate. (If you go to Starbucks to avoid the Super Bowl, you can apply the same formula.) The offering goes to ELCA Hunger Relief. We still welcome the food bank offering every Sunday, but especially on Souper Bowl Sunday.
