Opportunities to Serve
Souper Bowl Sunday February 7th, 2016
Once again this year we are challenging our congregation to top the total donations of soup we
collected last year. We collected 2,576 units last year. You can bring your donations of soup to the church beginning January 10th
through February 7th. The cans we collect will benefit our Food Pantry and the Harvest of Blessing food pantry in York.
PLEASE NOTE: THE DEACONS NEED SOMEONE TO HELP WITH COORDINATING THE DISTRIBUTION OF
THE CANS COLLECTED. If you can help, please contact Tom Ausherman or Brenda Myers.
Since 1990, young people have been leading the charge and inspiring others to collect dollars and food in the weeks leading up
to the Big Game. Teaming up with local partners, these groups give 100% of their donations to local charities, changing the nation’s largest weekend of football into the largest weekend of caring.
Help WYCOB to meet this challenge
and you will also be helping others.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” Matthew 25:35
