The Souper Bowl of Caring’s vision is to channel the excitement of the NFL’s Super Bowl into a powerful movement that unites youth and churches in the fight against hunger in their local communities. In that same spirit, the Mission Presbytery Souper Bowl Championship brings our congregations together in a friendly but meaningful competition — rallying energy, generosity, and teamwork to care for our neighbors in need.

The Rules

Promoting begins: During the month of December

Collecting begins: Thursday, January 1

Collecting ends: Sunday, February 8
