Since beginning in 1990, the Souper Bowl of Caring has been the catalyst for volunteer groups who have collected more than $153 million in cash and food across the country to date. 100% of all donations from these groups go directly to community food banks, soup kitchens or other charities that our participants choose. Over 100,000 youth and 6,000 groups participated last year, collecting donations big and small to support their local food charities.
In honor of our 30th anniversary, Souper Bowl of Caring will host its 6th Annual Tackle Hunger Texas Luncheon at The Junior League of Houston on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 from 11:15am to 1:00pm.
