Sunday Souper Bowl of Caring - February 05, 2012
Mark your calendar for Sunday, February 5, 2012, Sunday Souper Bowl of Caring. This is the sixth year of participation. St. Anthony of Padua Parish and St. Joseph(tm)s Catholic School raised over 9,000 pieces of non- perishable food items and monetary donations last year. Our goal this year is 5,000 pieces of nonperishable food items or monetary donations. Everything received is given directly to our parish food pantry. Last year we fed around 200 clients a day which is 800 bags and food boxes a week. We know we are unable to stop hunger, but we wish to help alleviate it. Food loaders, unloaders, recorders, and counters will be needed. In our un-cookable food bags we give, a can of vienna wieners, cup of applesauce, bottled water, pack of ramen noodles, a snack bar, pack of oatmeal or grits, and fresh fruit (when available). These are bags for our homeless brothers and sisters and can be received every day. In the family boxes are cookable foods, which can be received every two-weeks. We will need extra sturdy boxes to stack the food for better organization and storage. More details about this event will be in the upcoming bulletins.
