About Souper Bowl of Caring
Once again this year, IAM is proud to partner with tacklehunger.org in the Souper Bowl of Caring.
Souper Bowl of Caring helps transform the annual Super Bowl into a nation-wide movement inspiring people to give locally and make a collective impact on hunger. Mobilizing grassroots resources including churches, schools, civic groups, and caring individuals, the Souper Bowl of Caring movement has created over $193 million worth of support that stays completely local.
Here in Henderson County, you can organize a Souper Bowl of Caring drive in your faith congregation, neighborhood, civic organization, or club to help local neighbors who are food insecure.
An Easy Way to Participate
An easy way is to ask your organization to collect cans of soup and other canned foods and donations of $1 or more to go with your food donations. Bring them to IAM during February, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays.
If you need help with a large drive, please call Tom or Rob at IAM to arrange a pick-up: 828-697-7029.
Thank you for helping IAM feed the estimated 1 in 7 people (children and adults) in Western North Carolina who struggle with hunger and the 1 in 5 children face food insecurity in our region of North Carolina.
This year, let's make sure we score a touchdown in the fight against hunger!
Don't Have Time to Donate Food?
As an alternative, please consider making a financial donation to IAM.
Because we purchase in bulk and often receive generous discounts from our vendors, your dollars can often go further when you make a direct contribution to IAM.
We are also aware that many of you are more hesitant to go out shopping or even to drop off food and clothing at our offices as a result of the pandemic. An online donation or mailed check allows you to safely make a critical difference in the lives of our neighbors in need.
However you choose to donate, please know that we are very grateful for the care and concern you show for our Henderson County neighbors facing unprecedented financial challenges.
