Chef Zachary Pope, Carole Burchette (Heritage affiliate board member to the Light House) and Pastor Scott Shelton are preparing for the 18th annual SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House Homeless Prevention Center. The community is invited to this donation-only lunch on Sunday, Feb. 11, 11:30am-1:30pm, at Heritage Baptist in Annapolis.

On February 11, just before two teams face off in a “super” NFL championship game, volunteers in Annapolis will kick off their own SOUPer Bowl, a donation-only lunch to support homeless prevention and related educational training services to people in Anne Arundel County.

Sunday, February 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Heritage Baptist (1740 Forest Drive, Annapolis) will host the 18th Annual SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House Homeless Prevention Center. Volunteers will ladle soups prepared by locally renowned Chef Zachary Pope. Menu soups include Chicken Noodle, Baked Potato and Chili. Guests will also enjoy salad, fresh rolls, and dessert.

“We were all shocked by the recent fire at the Light House and thankful no one was hurt,” said Scott Shelton, Heritage Baptist pastor. “We appreciate their dedicated staff working to get all residents back in place and hope our event will support their effort.”

The public is invited and admission is free, but donations are requested to benefit the Light House. This year, SOUPer Bowl volunteers hope to raise $8500. Donations can be made at the event or online now at heritageloves.com/onlinegiving and selecting “SOUPer Bowl” as the reason for your donation. One hundred percent of the money donated goes directly to the Light House. Since 2007, this event has raised over $50,000 cumulatively for the Light House.

Attendees are encouraged to wear favorite NFL team jerseys that day, whether your team is in the big game or not. Guests are welcome to attend worship service with Pastor Scott Shelton at 10:30 a.m., prior to the SOUPer Bowl lunch.
