Because of the pandemic, parishes in Maine are taking different approaches to this year’s “Souper” Bowl of Caring. The annual event, always held on Super Bowl Weekend, is a weekend of giving and serving during which 100% of the monetary and food donations collected will be given to local charities to help tackle hunger in the community, according to a news release from Dave Guthro, communications director, Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.
Traditionally, members of parishes’ youth ministry collect the donations during the weekend, but with restrictions on large gatherings in place, parishes are coming up with creative ways to still score donations in this unusual year.
