Souper Bowl of Caring empowers local food pantries to combat childhood hunger in Utah

The Souper Bowl of Caring is a national organization that partners with local hunger relief charities to fight against childhood hunger.

America First Credit Union is proud to be a long-time partner with KUTV for the Souper Bowl of Caring. Although this blitz is simultaneously taking place in various cities nationwide, the local chapters work with as many community food pantries in their area to broaden its impact. 100% of the monetary and food donations are passed along directly to these community charities.

Dave Nellis with America First Credit Union spoke to Kaime Stroot about this initiative and how people can donate.

The Souper Bowl of Caring program originated in South Carolina in 1990, where a Sunday school teacher asked members of her congregation to donate $1 of their Super Bowl party budgets to fight hunger. The localized effort grew into a nationwide movement.

KUTV’s Souper Bowl of Caring started in 2014, and America First Credit Union has been a partner since that time through the America First Charitable Foundation charitable foundation. We are now in our 12th year supporting this great cause.

Proceeds go to Utah Association of Public-School Foundations.

How you can donate:

  • Donate via mobile & online banking by transferring money to a special savings account: 5502281, last name AFCU.
  • Donate in person at any America First Credit Union branch location.
  • Donate now through one of our convenient contribution portals at americafirst.com.
  • Tune in to Channel 2 on Wednesday February 5th from 6am – 10:30pm and call 1-877-908-0680 to donate over the phone during the telethon.
