Souper Bowls


We've been working on the Facebook page a lot, not many posts lately, but much has been happening... Although we were closed for over a week during the snowstorms, we seem to have caught up with requests (knock on wood). We picked up $1,000 of spaghetti sauce, cereal, tuna and size 4 diapers from the Bishop's Storehouse in Upper Marlboro this week, thanks to the efforts of Eileen Larson and the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints (Seneca Stake).

Bravo to both Great Seneca Creek Elementary School and Boyds Presbyterian Church for collecting food in their Souper Bowl events. Rev. Merritt Ednie stopped by the pantry yesterday to drop off a fine collection of much-needed items. At GSCES, students could vote for their favorite team by placing a soup in the appropriate bin - see the picture above for their progress chart. They collected 472 items (up from 333 last year). Great!!
