2B | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2021 | SIUSLAW NEWS Souper Bowl of Caring kicks off Super Bowl weekend to benefit food bank, Habitat One-in-6 kids in Or- egon are unsure where their next meal will come from. One-in-7 families spend 50 percent or more of their income on hous- ing. Florence Food Share and Florence Habitat for Humanity are teaming up to help fight childhood hunger and housing in- stability. The Souper Bowl of Caring started in 1990 when a South Carolina Sunday school teacher used Super Bowl parties as a modern-day exam- ple of gluttony when fans eat wings, pizza and chips they don’t need — while at the same time someone in the same town goes hungry. The class asked every- one leaving church on Super Bowl Sunday to donate $1 from their Su- per Bowl party budget to fight hunger. What start- ed as a small movement has grown to a national effort to give back on a day of plenty. Several years ago, Florence resident Lori Janowski suggested to St. Mary Our Lady of the Dunes parish to join in this effort. Each year, St. Mary’s has asked its congregation to donate non-perishable food to Food Share and monetary donations to Florence Habitat for Humanity at the Saturday 5:30 eve- ning and Sunday 11 a.m. Masses on Superbowl weekend. Several other groups from the local faith com- munity have joined with St. Mary’s to participate in Souper Bowl of Caring. This year, the entire community is being en- couraged to join together Super Bowl weekend to help fight childhood hun- ger and housing instabil- ity. How Can You Partici- pate? Donate to via their websites: • Florencefoodshare. org/donate.html • Florencehabitat.org/ donate-index-impact • Deliver non-perish- able food to your church, Florene Food Share or Florence Habitat ReStore • Monetary donations can be delivered to Flor- ence Habitat for Human- ity Office or ReStore both located in the Grocery Outlet Shopping Center or by mail PO Box 3302 Florence, Ore. 97439 The Florence commu- nity is invited to set aside a bit of its Super Bowl party budget to help con- tinue to fight hunger and housing instability for those less fortunate.
