We believe The idea for Souper Bowl of Caring is a gift from God. Young people have the ability to serve and should be given opportunities to lead their communities in helping others. Every dollar collected through Souper Bowl of Caring should be donated directly to a charity selected by each participating group. People of all backgrounds and beliefs can work together. Hunger and poverty have a negative impact on individuals and the communities in which they live, yet there is joy in serving and giving to those in need. The excitement and energy surrounding the Super Bowl can be used to engage young people in service while producing lasting hope for all people.
What if everyone watching the Super Bowl football game gave one dollar to fight hunger and poverty in America?

In 1990 a young pastor and his youth group prayerfully considered this question. The concept seemed simple enough at the time, so with idealism and energy they rolled up their sleeves on the weekend of Super Bowl XXIV to make it happen. In that first year 22 churches collected $5,700 for local hunger-relief charities in

100% MEANS 100% Youth give 100% of what they collect to hunger-relief charities of their choice, where many of them also volunteer on Super Bowl weekend.
22 years later, Souper Bowl of Caring has grown to more than 10,000 groups in all 50 states.

Youth collect money in churches and gather donations of dollars and food in their school classrooms. They give 100% of what they collect to hunger-relief charities of their choice, where many of them also volunteer on Super Bowl weekend. Through their participation in Souper Bowl of Caring, these young people inspire everyone around them. And each year, they come a little closer to seeing their ‘what if?’ come true, as Super Bowl weekend becomes the nation’s largest celebration of giving and serving.
What if we could grow Souper Bowl of Caring each year and keep it as simple as the first collection? We believe youth are more empowered to serve when they see the direct impact of their efforts. That is why Souper Bowl of Caring participants continue to give every dollar and every food item they collect directly to hunger-relief charities in their local communities, just as they did 22 years ago.

We make it easy for people of all backgrounds and beliefs to become part of this movement. Through our website, social media, email blasts, direct mail, and organization of community events, we keep participants engaged in our mission throughout the year. Our website encourages participants to create an online community of caring. In addition to the wealth of free downloadable resources available on our website, each year we also provide a packet of printed materials to each registered participant. There is never any charge for these materials, which are designed to help make their collections more successful. We do it all with a small staff of four full-time and eight part-time people. Each one of us believes young people have the ability to serve and should be given opportunities to lead their communities in helping others. That’s why we provide the organization, communication tools and materials to ensure each person participating has a positive experience.

Our staff builds partnerships with churches, schools, businesses, and charities in communities across the country. Working together, we help improve the quality of life in local communities through this youth-led movement. Our staff works hard to leverage the gifts we receive from our donors. For every $1,000 donated to cover our program costs, we are able to mobilize young people who in turn generate $19,000 for hunger relief in America.
For every $1,000 donated to our organization, we generated $19,000 for hunger relief.

What if we could introduce young people to the joy of serving others? Our programs help young people connect with their communities, while training them to become our nation’s next generation of philanthropists.
Service Blitz
“Souper Bowl of Caring provided a way to guide my passion and help me guide the efforts of other people in my community.”
We believe it’s important for youth to see the connection between the dollars they collect and the charities they help. That’s why, on the Saturday before every Super Bowl football game, we hold a rally for youth in select cities across the United States, sending them out to volunteer hands-on at the hunger-relief charity of their choice. Individuals and youth groups in other cities also participate in Service Blitz Saturday, doing volunteer work at their chosen charity.
- Emily Bakhaus 12th grader, Columbia, South Carolina
Youth participating in Service Blitz volunteer at a local food bank in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What if we could provide opportunities for young people to become leaders in their communities? Our national youth leadership program teaches students how to use their energy and passion for helping others to grow this movement of caring.
National Youth Advisory Board (NYAB) Each year we select 12 high school students from across the nation for our National Youth Advisory Board (NYAB). They raise awareness in their communities and nationwide, as the collective face and voice for Souper Bowl of Caring. In the process they gain invaluable training, travel and leadership experience that helps shape their lives.

“The time I have spent being part of this board has been some of the best in my entire life. This experience has changed my view on the country and what it is really like. I now know I really want to make a difference.”

What if youth set an example that inspired entire communities to collaborate on one weekend of giving and serving? As more communities embrace the simple goodness of our program, we build new partnerships that allow us to make a bigger impact on hunger relief in America.
Retail Partners: Food Retailers in Texas and Indianapolis Each year, competing grocery stores in Austin, Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth team up to tackle hunger in their communities, giving shoppers the opportunity to make a donation or purchase bags of groceries for local food banks. Local media affiliates promote the three-week program, which raises millions in dollars and food items for the state’s four largest food banks. This year we added a new grocery store initiative in the Super Bowl XLVI host city of Indianapolis. Together these food retailers in Texas and Indianapolis raised $4.2 million for hunger-relief charities in their communities.
Media Partner: K-LOVE This year we formed a new partnership with K-LOVE, a national network of Christian radio stations. We created a unique way to involve K-LOVE listeners through a four-city tour with Christian recording artist David Crowder. Cost of admission to each concert was donation of a food item for hunger-relief charities in the cities of Charlotte, NC (one of our Souper Cities); Knoxville, TN; Memphis, TN; and finally Indianapolis, IN (our newest Souper City and home of the K-LOVE Morning Show). K-LOVE’s listeners were so generous at every stop on the tour and the K-LOVE morning show collected nearly 50,000 pounds of food on its Tour to End Hunger with Souper Bowl of Caring.
Corporate Partner: South Carolina Bank & Trust (SCBT) Each year, South Carolina Bank & Trust and their affiliates in North Carolina and Georgia fight hunger in their local communities through Souper Bowl of Caring. In addition to collecting cash donations in branches, employees hold a variety of fundraising activities. This year’s collection was their most successful on record; the bank collected $105,846 and gave 100% to hunger-relief charities in the local communities they serve. Over its seven-year partnership with us, SCBT has raised close to $330,000 for hunger relief.
Food retailers in parts of Texas and Indianapolis gave shoppers a chance to make donations or purchase bags of food for their local food banks.
SCBT branches held fundraisers including bake sales to raise money for their collection.
What if each Super Bowl football game gave us a new opportunity to make a difference for those who are hungry and hurting? We believe the excitement and energy surrounding the Super Bowl football game can be used to engage young people in service, while producing lasting hope for all people. In the 22 years since this movement began we have seen this belief in action, as more than $90 million has been collected in dollars and food items for hunger relief in America. Every youth director who organized a group, every youth who held a soup pot and every adult who bought a bag of groceries to feed their neighbors in need has been part of this success.
Meet our Souper Fans Some people are on fire for our program. They’re not all young, though they are young at heart. Charles Coney, Director of the Bethel CME Church Christian Youth Fellowship in Macon, Georgia and Bruce Broyles of Ste. Rose de Lima Parish in Chicopee, Massachusetts are two of our most passionate ambassadors. They believe as we do that hunger and poverty have a negative impact on individuals and the communities in which they live. They believe there is joy in serving and giving to those in need and practice their beliefs by spreading the word about Souper Bowl of Caring.
Charles Coney held a community-wide Service Blitz in Macon, Georgia.
Bruce Broyles made television appearances to promote this year’s event.
Charles Coney
Bruce BRoyles
Inspired by the collective volunteer experience of the Jacksonville, Florida Service Blitz he attended in 2011, Charles organized a community-wide Service Blitz for his own city. Hundreds of young people participated. “This hands-on service learning shows kids of all ages they’re never too young to make a difference,” said Charles. “It makes a positive impact on the community and on the young people who participate.”
Bruce Broyles discovered Souper Bowl of Caring in 2009 while looking for a project for his youth confirmation class. Today he is a passionate spokesperson for our program, making media appearances and encouraging churches, schools and businesses to help the hungry and hurting through Souper Bowl of Caring. “This program provides valuable service opportunities for participants,” says Bruce.
$90 MILLION Since Souper Bowl of Caring began more than $90 million has been collected for hunger relief in America.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF OUR DONORS We believe youth should not only collect money for those in need, but also decide where the money goes and give 100% of their collections directly to local charities. This means none of the money raised comes to Souper Bowl of Caring headquarters to cover the cost of promoting the national program, providing training and support to youth leaders and uniting the nation in this important cause. We rely entirely on donations from caring people like you to help us grow this movement. Thank you for another year of mobilizing youth to tackle the serious issues of hunger and poverty.
