A 'Souperbowl' Canned Food Drive!

Who will win in the Superbowl; the Steelers or the Packers? What really counts is which team will win in our own version of the 'Souperbowl.' This Tuesday, February 1, the DC Bocce League will be collecting items to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank. We are asking all bocce players to bring in non-perishable food (like soup cans... get the play on words in Souperbowl... ha!) and/or hygiene products to benefit the local food bank, which is the DC area's largest, public nonprofit food and nutrition education resource. The black shirts will be tracking the donations all evening, and top two teams will be winning prizes (First place= $50 gift certificate to Grand Central, 2nd place= bocce set).

What's even better is that the DC Bocce League will "match" the canned donations at $1 per item to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank.

The Capital Area Food Bank's Most Wanted Items are as follows:

-Canned proteins (tuna, salmon, chicken, peanut butter)

-Canned fruits in own juices or light syrup (pineapples, peaches and pears)

-100% fruit juice (all sizes including juice boxes)

-Grains (pasta, whole wheat pasta, rice, brown rice, macaroni and cheese)

-Condiments (tomato based sauces, light soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, light salad dressings)

-Low sodium/no salt added vegetables (mixed, green beans, corn)

-Soups (beef stew, chili, chicken noodle, turkey rice)

-Multigrain cereal (Cheerios, Cornflakes, Grapenuts, Raisin Bran)

-Hygiene products (diapers, deodorants for men and women, feminine products, toilet paper, tissues, soap, toothpaste, shampoo)
