Texas and Tennessee Communities Mobilize for 'Souper Bowl of Caring' to Tackle Hunger

In the heart of Texas, News 4 and Fox San Antonio are rallying the troops to wage war on hunger, joining forces with Tackle Hunger and the San Antonio Food Bank for the Souper Bowl of Caring crusade. Community members are being called to action, and every dollar they chip in is a hefty throw, capable of drumming up seven meals for families riding the hunger wave, according to Fox San Antonio.

Further north in Jackson, Tennessee, the Regional Inter-Faith Association (RIFA) is gearing up to also dominate the hunger game, pushing its own Souper Bowl of Caring campaign into high-gear. They're banking on the big hearts of their fellow community members to generously donate to the cause. Eyeballing the massive crowd that tuned in for last year’s Super Bowl LVII, they pose a tantalizing what-if scenario: what if every single one of those 115 million viewers had simply donated a buck or a can of food? They want to turn this what-if into a reality, as they told RIFA Jackson.

Donations can swiftly be made online for those looking to get off the sidelines and into the charitable scrimmage. The San Antonio Food Bank's website is user-friendly, and so is RIFA's, with big bright 'donate' buttons that are hard to miss. It's a chance for good Samaritans to break to put their best play forward in an effort that transcends team rivalries and puts points on the scoreboard of humanity. Every donated dollar tightens the laces on a lifesaving bootstrapped effort to provide for the famished.
