Save the Date: CRS 2nd Annual “SOUPer Bowl” Food Drive is Aug. 25

You know fall is just around the corner when it’s SOUPer Bowl time.

The cross-the border competition that raises food for' clients in Avon and Avon Lake continues on Thursday, Aug. 25 at the Avon vs. Avon Lake Varsity Football Game held this year at the Avon football field at Avon Middle School.

Once again, members of the Avon and Avon Lake communities will have a friendly competition to see who can collect the most food by weight. All food collected will directly benefit families in need right here in Avon and Avon Lake.

CRS will also be accepting cash donations. Each $1 contributed will be counted as 5 pounds of food. One truck for each community will be stationed at the football field and will be weighed after the first quarter of the game. The winner of the food drive competition will be announced at half time and will be presented with the SOUPer Bowl Trophy.

Those wishing to donate but cannot attend the game can drop off donations. In addition to every school, donations can be dropped off after Aug. 15 at Avon City Hall, , Avon Senior Center, Avon Lake Old Firehouse and the CRS office at 33501-L Lake Road.
