SOUPER BOWL OF CARING

Souper Bowl of Caring 2026

That’s a wrap on our 2026 Souper Bowl of Caring campaign!

For the third year in a row, we were proud to partner with Sinclair Broadcasting Group and Tackle Hunger to support our local community through the Souper Bowl of Caring initiative.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our members, employees, and community, we collected much-needed non-perishable food and monetary donations to benefit the Dayton Food Bank and FLOC (For the Love of Children).
Thank you to everyone who donated, shared and supported this meaningful cause. Your kindness is making a real difference for families right here in our community. 

If you didn’t get a chance to donate, you can still make an impact by giving directly to the Dayton Food Bank and FLOC. Every contribution helps provide hope, nourishment, and support to families in need.

Donate Here: For the Love Of Children (FLOC) and The Foodbank, Inc.

 

UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY

Unity In the Community

We’re proud to once again partner with Versiti on the "Unity in the Community" High School Blood Drive program, an annual collaboration that truly reflects the heart of our community.

This program brings students, schools, and organizations together to give back in a meaningful way, and the impact reaches far beyond the donation itself. Every participant plays a role in helping save lives and strengthening the communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, volunteered, and helped make this year’s Unity in the Community blood drive a success. Your generosity and willingness to step up for others is something to be celebrated.

Together, we’re making a difference, one donation at a time.

Participating Schools: Chaminade-Julienne, Carroll, Fairmont, Alter, Fairborn, Stebbins, Miamisburg, West Carrollton, Tri-County and Twin Valley South High Schools.
