Annual
Participant of Souper Bowl Sunday
(for 15 years now!)
As many already know, St. Francis' Soup Kitchen in Scranton serves many of the poor and homeless in our community. For fifteen years now, we have been participating in the Souper Bowl of Caring by taking a collection on Super Bowl Sunday and donating 100% to St. Francis'. They tell us that for every $2 donated, we feed five people! We are so happy to be able to help, and we recommend that everyone look into this easy way to feed the hungry and help the poor, loving as Jesus loves.
