Souper Bowl of Caring, the organization that started the youth-led movement 20 years ago, has this simple prayer: “Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.”
Their motto is, “Why not use Super Bowl weekend, a time when people come together for football and fun, to also unify the nation for a higher good: collecting dollars and canned food for the needy?”
For the past two years, CCA has been involved in the Souper Bowl of Caring, and this year, from January 17 to February 5, most of our teachers and over 100 students participated in donating and serving. We held the Souper Bowl of Caring Cook-off, where CCA teachers and staff made their best homemade soup to be voted on a tasting contest by CCA students. Mrs. Hendry won the contest, and was a given a golden trophy. Out of all donations by CCA students and staff, we raised hundreds of dollars and 625 can goods. Being a great success, the CCA community is proud to be a part of such a great movement, and will continue every year.
