Schools and staff encouraged to participate in the Souper Bowl of Caring
In partnership with Souper Bowl of Caring and the Houston Food Bank, all HISD schools and members of Team HISD are invited to participate in the 2020 Souper Bowl of Caring, a youth-led, national food drive that mobilizes thousands of young people to fight hunger and poverty in their communities.
Beginning Jan. 14, one of the nation’s largest celebrations of serving and giving will raise awareness and tackle hunger in communities. There are five ways to participate:
- Collect food donations between January 14 through February 10.
- Bring collection of canned goods to Strategic Partnerships Level 1SE, or drop in the designated boxes located in the main lobby area entrances.
- Donate 100 percent of your collection to support our most needy students and families through our Wraparound and Homeless Departments.
- Involve your students as volunteers at your local food bank or other hunger-relief charities. For help coordinating, call Houston Food Bank at 713-547-8604.
- Report collection results to the Souper Bowl of Caring website: www.tacklehunger.org to be included in the national total, which is over $10 million every year!
The food drive donations collected at Hattie Mae White (4400 West 18th St., 77092) will benefit two of our programs: the HISD Homeless Office and Wraparound services food pantries. A food drive is a simple service-learning experience that addresses the most important way to support our families in need.
Please notify Tarah Davis of food donation drop-offs at Tarah.Davis@houstonisd.org.
