Held on Super Bowl Sunday, the Souper Bowl of Caring is a national movement of young people working to fight hunger and poverty in their communities.

* After worship, Shandon's youth will be stationed at each exit
door of the sanctuary collecting donations to help feed the
hungry in the Columbia area.
* Please consider dropping a dollar or two in the soup pots to
support local hunger-relief efforts.
* Every dollar collected will be donated directly to Harvest Hope
Food Bank.
SUPPORT YOUR TEAM AND FIGHT HUNGER
Who will win the Super Bowl this year? The New England Patriots or the New York Giants? Show your team spirit by placing canned goods in the Harvest Hope box at Shandon marked with your team's mascot. Good luck!
DID YOU KNOW? Last year 260,000 youth collected $9.5 million for hunger relief. This year, the need is even greater. The U.S. Census Bureau reports the number of Americans living in poverty is the highest it has been in 52 years. One in seven households in our nation is food insecure, affecting more than 16 million children. Studies show that hungry children do poorly in school and have lower academic achievement because they cannot concentrate.
