Dear friend,

This February, as we embrace the dual spirit of winter's chill and Valentine's warmth, we are thrilled to announce the kickoff of our Soup-er Hero Food Drive. It's more than a food drive; it's a call to action for all heroes out there looking to make a tangible difference in our community. 

Join the League of Souper-Heroes! 

Recent winter storms have highlighted the critical need for basic nourishment like soup in our community. A single can of soup is more than a meal; it's a gesture of warmth and care towards those who need it most. Now, we're rallying our Souper-Heroes to bring that warmth to neighbors. 

Here's How You Can Help: 

Host a Soup Drive: Are you part of an organization, business, or congregation? Lead the charge by hosting your own soup drive. Gather your team, and contact CaSaundra Johnson at casaundra@lifturbanportland.org to start your heroic journey. We'll equip you with everything you need to make your drive a soaring success. 

Power Up with a Donation: If hosting a drive isn't an option, your financial contributions can still pack a powerful punch. Every $10 you donate helps us secure 5 cans of soup, directly supporting our neighbors in need. Your generosity is the superpower that fuels this mission. 

What's in Our Hero's Pantry? 

Canned Soups: Brimming with nutrition and variety. 

Boxed Soups: Perfect for sharing and easy to store. 

Low-Sodium Soups: For those seeking healthier options. 

Ramen Cups: For a quick, comforting fix. 

The Impact of Your Heroism 

Your involvement goes beyond just feeding the hungry; it's about providing hope, nourishment, and a sense of community. Together, as a formidable league of Souper-Heroes, we can ensure that our neighbors have abundant access to warm, comforting soups this winter. 

Let's band together to make this February a month of extraordinary warmth and generosity. Whether hosting a drive, donating, or volunteering, every Souper-Hero makes a difference. 

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can transform lives, one bowl of soup at a time. 

With heartfelt thanks,

Stephanie Barr, Executive Director

Food brings us together.
