Souper Bowl of Caring

Collection Dates:  February 11 and 12, 2023

The Souper Bowl of Caring is an Annual Fund Raiser for the local food pantries.  All proceeds will directly and exclusively support our local Fayette County food pantry: the A.M.E.N. Pantry.  The Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO) of Martin Luther Lutheran Church has led this effort for many years.  They continue this excellent fundraiser for hunger relief this year,

The LYO has Big Plans to help our neighbors in need:

*Our goal is to collect at least $500 for our local food pantry.

*We have been generous here at Martin Luther over the years. Let’s work together to make 2023 our best year ever as we serve our neighbors in need.

*This is a nationwide effort.  In recent years about $5-10 million was generated by 6,000-10,000 groups across the USA each year.
