MISSION - WHAT WE DO

For over 30 years, the Souper Bowl of Caring movement has been inspiring people across the nation to tackle hunger in their local communities. We coordinate efforts to tackle hunger through our digital platform of fundraising services created to support food charities large and small. Mobilizing grassroots resources including churches, schools, civic groups and caring individuals, this movement has created over $193 million worth of support that stays completely local. Over the last three years alone, thousands of groups collected over $25 million in dollars and food donations for hunger-relief charities across the country. Over that period, our organization took $1 specifically donated to our mission and created over $18 for local food charities.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Souper Bowl of Caring The annual Souper Bowl of Caring event harnesses the energy of the Big Game. Its vision is to transform the Big Game into a nationwide movement inspiring people to give locally and make a collective impact on hunger. People collect monetary and food donations traditionally during the weeks leading up to and after Super Bowl Sunday. All of the money and food is then given directly to local food charities of the group's choice. The Tackle Hunger Map The Tackle Hunger Map is an equitable nationwide database of the real time needs of food charities across the country. Using the color-coded Tackle Hunger Map, communities can quickly respond to the immediate needs of food charities in their communities. Regardless of size, the Tackle Hunger Map features all food charities in an equitable fashion: if they are feeding people, they can go on the Tackle Hunger Map. Because the Tackle Hunger Map uses geolocation, anyone visiting the map can find help if they need it or support their closest food charity. The Tackle Hunger Challenge Partnering with the NFL Alumni, the Tackle Hunger Challenge asks: what if everyone watching a game donates just $1 or 1 can of food to a local food charity? It would be a gamechanger! Using the energy of any sporting event at any time of the year, donations can create thousands of meals for hungry families.
