A quick and easy way to teach your child about hunger, poverty, and the importance of giving

I’ve mentioned a charity called “Souper Bowl for Caring” in the past, but I’m going to mention it again b/c it offers a great way to use the upcoming Super Bowl to teach your children about hunger, poverty, and giving.

Living a lifestyle of gratitude isn’t something you teach your kids once a year during the holidays. It’s something you teach them on a regular basis by taking advantage of (and creating) opportunities for your children. With that in mind, Souper Bowl for Caring offers your family a creative way to turn a Super Bowl party into a unique occasion to tackle hunger in America.

It’s pretty simple.

1. Register at www.souperbowl.org

2. Collect money or canned goods before or on Super Bowl Sunday

3. Report your results at tacklehunger.org to share your victory and inspire others

4. Donate 100% of your collection to the charity of your choice.

You may also recall that I’m leaving for the Dominican Republic in February to help a non-profit organization called Children of the Nations develop a counseling program for some of the children there. Children of the Nations is one of thousands of non-profits that desperately need funding to serve those in need. I encourage you to consider turning your Super Bowl party into a Souper Bowl for Caring opportunity to raise money for one of these organizations!
