ADVOCATING FOR FOOD CHARITIES
Take the Church Challenge!
Churches started this movement. Let’s lead it again! In 1990, a simple prayer at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church sparked a movement: “Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl, help us be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.” That moment launched the Souper Bowl of Caring, and churches have been at its heart ever since. Now, as the 2026 Big Game heads to San Francisco, True Hope Church in Bayview is challenging every church in America to step up again—to show the world the power of united, local giving. Imagine if every church-goer gave just $1 or one can of food to a local food charity. The impact would be extraordinary. Join the nationwide Church Challenge and be part of this mission to ensure no one goes without a bowl of soup.
Tackle Hunger is teaming up with LA Foods to help food charities cut costs and feed more people. While our annual Souper Bowl of Caring inspires giving, this year- round partnership gives food charities access to wholesale pricing and more affordable freight—helping them get the food they need without breaking the bank. Even in its early stages, this program is already helping charities slash costs and stretch their impact. More savings means more meals for those who need them most.

Donating Dollars for Dairy This year, we asked you to Donate Dollars for Dairy through the Souper Bowl of Caring event and the Tackle Hunger Map. Dairy is the most requested, but least donated item for food charities across the country. With the help of dairy councils across the US, you heard our request! THANK YOU for helping families lead healthier lives. $231,000 was donated to enable food charities nationwide to purchase healthy dairy products for hungry families in their communities.
