Restaurants, faith communities and businesses throughout Milford, Stratford and Orange are being asked to support or participate in the Souper Bowl fundraising campaign to help the Beth-El Center and the homeless in the community.
"We’re so appreciative of the many churches and businesses in the community who will be collecting donations or donating a portion of their proceeds during Super Bowl weekend for this campaign,” said Jenn Paradis, executive director of the Beth-El Center.
On Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 2 and 3, participating organizations will be fundraising or encouraging people to contribute to the campaign online at bethelmilford.org. All donations will go directly to the Beth-El Center's shelter, soup kitchen and services offered to local men, women and families in need, organizers said.
To participate, faith communities and businesses can email jparadis@bethelmilford.org. Go to bethelmilford.org for a list of participating organizations.
