Project Salina
As of yesterday, Feb. 16, Project Salina had received $13,471.43 in cash donations and collected over 19,000 cans, enough to fill 10 barges with soup.
With the combined total of canned donations and future soup purchases, the group is on track to reach its goal by the end of the month.
While the canned soup will be distributed within the next week, these agencies will eventually run out—this is where your cash donations make the biggest impact. With the donated funds, the Project Salina board can purchase over 22,000 cans of soup when the six agencies need it later in the year. The advantage of cash donations is the flexibility—after this one large donation, funds remain available to restock shelves as supplies run low.
Today, Feb. 17, the Salvation Army loaded two barges of soup into their box truck to help meet their immediate needs. Board members also delivered a trunk full of soup to the Salina Rescue Mission today for immediate use.
It's never too late to donate—cash donations are always welcome! You can contribute in two ways: By Mail: Send a check (payable to Souper Bowl of Hope) to: Souper Bowl, PO Box 2861, Salina, KS 67402-2861
