Generous 'Soup-er Bowl' collection beats record

Posted

Parishioners from St. Bernard Church in North Kingstown recently donated cans of soup to the North Kingstown Food Pantry in a special collection held January 1 through February 12 (Super Bowl Sunday). This year’s goal was 500 cans. Last year, the parish community donated more than 700 cans. This year, parishioners donated more than 1,000 cans of soup.
