The Salina Souper Bowl of Hope needs your help!

The annual soup collection for the Salina Emergency Aid Food Bank, Salvation Army, Rescue Mission, Ashby House, and DVACK is going on now until Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 13. This year's goal is 56,000 cans of soup.

"We are asking businesses and churches to help us with our goal," Salina Souper Bowl of Hope organizers noted in a news release.

Donations of both cans of soup and money will be accepted.

"$25 will allow us to buy 60 cans of soup," the organizers noted.

There are several ways for groups to make sure their contributions go toward Souper Bowl of Hope. They are as follows.

Contributions can be dropped off at the Salina Emergency Aid Food Bank, 255 S. Chicago, the week of Feb. 14 (9 a.m.-noon Monday through Friday). Please take your contributions to the west side of the building by the garage door.

You also can call 785-452-5008 to arrange for your contributions to be picked up.

The organizers ask that you have your contributions counted prior to pickup or drop off.

Additionally, contributions will be collected at Salina Dillons stores this Saturday and Sunday, and on Feb. 5, 6, and 12.
