Feed Cheney Souper Bowl

Several Cheney churches will be participating in a fundraiser for Feed Cheney on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 1, with “Souper Bowl of Caring” urging Super Bowl fans to “be mindful of those who do not have a bowl of soup to eat.” Monetary donations will be collected in soup pots at the close of church services. 

All funds collected will help Feed Cheney with their $500/month expenses to supplement the donated food for the dinner and grocery distribution the last Monday of each month.
