Over 150 attendees gathered at Heritage Baptist on Sunday for the SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House Homeless Prevention Center, raising $5600. Organizers announce that the online donation portal will remain open for another week, with the goal of growing that amount.

“We’re thankful for the folks who stepped up to support the Light House and the work they do in our community,” said Pastor Scott Shelton of Heritage Baptist. “Now, in football talk, we’re calling an audible to drive up the score by going into overtime with online giving.”

Through February 17, online donations can be made atheritageloves.com/give. Select “give now” then “SOUPer Bowl” from the drop-down menu. In-person donations can be dropped off at the church office Monday-Friday 9am-2pm, or mailed to Heritage Baptist Church, 1740, Forest Drive, Annapolis 21401. One hundred percent of the money collected goes to the Light House.
