As unemployment remains high and the weather stays cold, local food pantries are struggling to keep their shelves stocked with enough food to help our neighbors in need here in Delaware County. Each of us can help by joining the Souper Bowl of Caring Team at Covenant Church. We will join schools and churches throughout America to collect money and non-perishable food items for those who are hungry and hurting in our local community. In 2011, 260,000 young people across the nation participated in the Souper Bowl of Caring ministry and generated $9.5 million in donations.
