Schwarzwald Lutheran ChurchSouper Bowl of Caring

Greg Pomian, a teacher of the high school class, set up the collection and formed a competition among the various Sunday School classes, a total of 2108 cans of soup and $823 were collected. The totals for the following years were: in 2015, 2536 cans/$523; in 2016. 837 cans/$515; in 2017, 2491 cans/$761, and in 2018, 3858 cans/$660.
In 2019 by collecting 4293 cans of soup and donations totaling $766, Schwarzwald earned the honor of being the #1 organization in all of PA, (all denominations, schools, scout and civic groups) – winning by just 5 cans of soup/dollars – and #1 in the USA for reporting ELCA churches. All donations will benefit the Exeter Area Food Pantry.
