Souper Bowl of Caring Donates to Grocery Vault

The PTK and Clemente Grocery Vault received a donation from the youth group of John's Island Parish. They participated in the Souper Bowl of Caring, which was founded by a church youth group but has since expanded to many types of participating groups, though it continues to be fueled by those coming together to worship and make a difference in their communities.

Since 1990, young people have been leading the charge and inspiring others to collect dollars and food leading up to the Big Game. Teaming up with local partners, these groups give 100% of donations to local charities, changing the nation's largest weekend of football into the largest weekend of caring.

Our Grocery Vault here on campus received a generous donation of 200 cans of soup, 93 cans of vegetables, 25 canned pasta/ravioli and a variety of other items. We have plenty to give away. Come by and pick up a bag of groceries. Spend your grocery money on something else - like rent! The Vault is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 1-3:00 in 104, but Admissions Office Gregory Cushing can let you into the Vault at other times. Come see him at the front desk in the Admissions office or email him at gregory.cushing@tridenttech.edu
