Project Salina
This weekend (Feb. 14 - Feb. 15, 2026) marks the final opportunity to donate to the Souper Bowl of Hope, supporting six local agencies that serve our community: Salina Grace, DVACK, Salina Rescue Mission, The Ashby House, The Salvation Army, and the Salina Emergency Aid Food Bank.
To date, volunteers have collected 6,165 cans of soup and $3,555.23 in cash donations. All soup donations are being distributed directly to the six agencies listed above. Cash donations will be held and made available later in the year so agencies can purchase soup as needs arise.
Our goal is to collect 60,000 cans in honor of the 60th Super Bowl. Based on current cash donations, an additional 5,925 cans can be purchased—bringing our total to 12,090 cans so far. While we are grateful for the generosity shown, we are still well short of our 60,000-can goal, and the need for donations remains urgent.
Volunteers will be at all three Dillons locations:
- Saturday, February 14: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
- Sunday, February 15: 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
If you miss the volunteers, donations can still be made in the following ways:
- Mail checks (payable to Souper Bowl of Hope) to: Souper Bowl of Hope, PO Box 2861, Salina, KS 67402-2861.
- Drop off cash or check donations at Central National Bank, 454 S. Ohio (by Water’s True Value). Please place donations in an envelope marked “Kristina Litchman, Souper Bowl” and include the name of the business or individual making the donation so proper credit can be given. Donations may be dropped off via drive-through or inside the bank.
On behalf of the Project Salina Board, thank you for your continued support and generosity in helping feed the citizens of Salina. Your partnership truly makes a difference.
