Souper bowl of Caring Food and Fund Drive
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7 | 5AM – 7PM
SMITH’S AT 750 SOUTH MEADOWS PARKWAY IN RENO
Join us in creating a stronger, more nourished community with the 3rd annual Souper Bowl of Caring, hosted by My News 4, Fox 11, and Nevada Sports Net to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.
Together, we can bring warmth and nourishment to families this winter by collecting healthy canned soups, stews, chilis, and other hearty meals. Stop by and make an impact – our team will be there from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., ready to unload your donations directly from your car.
Prefer to make a monetary donation? Every $1 provides the equivalent of 3 meals, ensuring families have the food they need to thrive. You can give online now through February 9, or swing by to see us at Smith’s on February 7 to donate with cash or check.
Let’s show what’s possible when our community comes together. We can’t wait to see you there!
