SOUPER SUNDAY RETURNS!
Start 2024 by making it a "Souper" Year!
You can directly help those currently experiencing homelessness in the Orlando area by collecting nonperishable food items, canned goods and men's clothing – particularly men's shoes, new socks & underwear, pants & jeans in good condition.
Our food pantry serves an important purpose. It draws desperate people to our campus where we do the hard work of nurturing a relationship with them, where they will hopefully open up to a case manager who wants to get them healthy, hired, and housed.
Finish your collection of food, shoes and clothing by Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024, the day of pro football's biggest game. Souper Sunday is a fun way to start off the new year while helping the less fortunate!
Get your church, your coworkers, and friends into the game against homelessness and hunger. Collect Soup and Men's Clothing & Shoes January 2 - February 11.
SHORT ON TIME TO SHOP?
We can do the shopping for you. We purchase food at reduced prices through partners like Second Harvest Food Bank. For every $1 received, we can purchase 2 cans of soup.
Make a secure online donation and dedicate it to "Souper Sunday"
