Because of the recent snowstorms and bitter cold weather, St. John’s United Church of Christ, 575 Grape St., has extended the canned soup drive for Souper Bowl of Caring to Feb. 22.

The goal is to receive 250 cans of soup for the soup pantry. Any other food donations, as well as monetary donations, are always welcome.

Please bring your cans of soup, and place them on the shelves in the coatroom next to the sanctuary.
