Souper Bowl of Caring

February 9^th will be filled with tackles and touchdowns as the 59^th Super Bowl takes place. But there’s something else you can tackle in the meantime: HUNGER! Did you know that 16.4% of Morgan County residents inexperience food insecurity?

That’s why – with the youth’s help – we’re collecting cans of soup for the CCC, NCC, and St. John’s own backpack ministry! Between now and Super Bowl Sunday (February 9) bring in cans of soup to help stock pantries in our community!

Cans can be left in the bins near the office. Thank you!

Upcoming Events
