S(o)uper Bowl Food Drive 2022: February 10-13
This event, beginning the Thursday before the Super Bowl and culminating on Super Bowl Sunday, is a fun competition between local neighborhoods to collect as much food as they can to restock local pantries at a time when shelves are depleted after the winter holidays. Each participating neighborhood needs a Captain who can publicize the event and establish a neighborhood collection spot. Items must be counted and delivered to the designated food pantry on Super Bowl Sunday. Winners are announced the following week. Make sure your neighborhood is represented!
Here’s how to get involved:
- Look for your neighborhood on the flyer above. If you don’t see it, chances are no one has signed up. If your neighborhood has signed up, your Captain might be able to use your help. Email us to find out.
If you’ll be leading the collection, here’s what you’ll do:
- Designate a collection point and share the flyer the best way for your neighborhood – neighborhood FB, Nextdoor group, email distribution, flyers or several of these options.
- Collect. We recommend collecting Thursday, February 10th to Saturday, February 12th to limit the amount of effort needed to monitor and store items. If you’d like to collect earlier than 2/10, that’s fine too.
- Count up the loot, and report it back – each item is worth 1 point – large packs of diapers and Enfamil drink are worth 2.
- Take fun pictures and send them to us to share on social media.
- Deliver everything to your designated pantry (see below) on February 13th from 11am-1pm. Delivery locations:
Broadneck Neighborhoods delivery location TBD will collect for Anne Arundel County Food Bank.
SPAN: cereal, canned pasta, cookies, crackers, syrup, jelly, potatoes, baked beans, canned meats, tomato products, vegetable or olive oil, condiments
AA Food Bank: dried beans, Ensure drink; diapers (all but Size 4), hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, face masks
On your mark! Get set…
