Transforming the Big Game into a nation-wide movement inspiring people to give locally and make a collective impact on hunger. The idea of Souper Bowl of Caring was born in 1990 and Inspired by a simple prayer “Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.”
That was 1990.

Since then, ordinary young people have been joined by schools, churches, local businesses, community partners and NFL teams across the country to generate over $150 million in food and funds to help support soup kitchens, food banks and other hunger-relief organizations in their local communities.

The idea of Souper Bowl of Caring was born in 1990 and inspired by a simple prayer, “Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.” The prayer was delivered by Brad Smith, then a seminary intern at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC.
That was 1990. Since then, ordinary young people have been joined by schools, churches, local businesses, community partners and NFL teams across the country to generate over $150 million in food and funds to help support soup kitchens, food banks and other hunger-relief organizations in their local communities.
