Sun. Feb. 3rd: Souper Bowl of Caring and COW Offering
The NFL Super Bowl is February 3rd. That is also the date of Brookmeade’s traditional “Souper Bowl of Caring”. Like in years past, we ask everyone to bring in cans of soup to be brought to Second Harvest Food Bank. It is also COW (Contribute Our Wealth) Sunday.
