Feb. 7 & 8, 2026
Souper Bowl Food Drive
Help us stock the shelves of every food pantry in our community!
Here’s the game plan:
- Bring your nonperishable food items to Hope during the weekend of the Big Game, or with you when you come to Hope beginning Jan. 31!
- Financial donations are also accepted in-person via check (noting “Souper Bowl Food Drive” in the memo field) or online!
Please remember to check expiration dates on your donations as expired items cannot be donated to pantries. For safety reasons, please, no glass items.
