Fighting Childhood Hunger with SOUPer Bowl 🥣 Lucia and Luna were moved by the story of Maddi’s Fridge, a true tale about a young girl experiencing food insecurity. Inspired to make a change, they launched the SOUPer Bowl campaign to raise awareness about childhood hunger. 🍲 Our young changemakers from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. took action by teaching over 500 kids about this issue and inspiring them to start their own food drives. Together, they’re making a big impact in their communities! 💪✨ Want to learn more about this initiative?
