McLouth United Methodist Church is playing host to its 2009 Souper Bowl Drive. Each year at this time, the congregation engages in a little friendly competition to see which team will collect the most cans of soup. Head and assistant coaches are busy planning strategies and pep rallies to motivate their teams to sack those cans of soup and run them to church by Sunday, when the Souper Bowl Champion will be named. Last year, a record-breaking amount of 1,618 cans of soup were collected. This year, the soup will be distributed to various food banks in Jefferson County, as well as Amistad y Fe in east Topeka.
