The Souper Bowl of Caring is an awesome national movement among young people to raise awareness, money, and food for those who are hungry. It's a cool program because it builds on the excitement around the Super Bowl (great game this year, btw) and allows youth to choose which organizations their work supports.You may remember that we set a Fourth Church record last year when the Bears played the Colts in the big game and we agreed to a challenge from Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis. Check out this post for more info on what happened last year.
The Bears let us down this year, but we had something even more important to get excited about: the 25th anniversary of the Elam Davies Social Service Center, which was once again the recipient of our collection this year.
Our Elevation youth came out in force to blitz the congregation after worship this past Sunday, collecting money and non-perishable food items. As always, the collecting was a blast and we had a great time, followed up by a great football themed Youth and Families Lunch.
The totals are in, and we are pleased to announce a great collection to help the hungry in Chicago: $5,701.98 and 724 non-perishable food items. This brings our 7 year total up to $31,016.26 and 5,829 food items. Way to go Elevation and all those who contributed to this great cause!
