Kaukauna school’s Soup-er Bowl collects over 2,600 cans for pantry

KAUKAUNA, Wis. (WBAY) - Students at New Directions Learning Community, a public charter school in Kaukauna, collected more than 2,600 cans of soup for the St. Joseph Food Program. Monday night the total came to 2,637 cans.

NDLC ran a service project called the NDLC Soup-er Bowl last week, bringing in cans of soup. One third-grader wheeled in her donations in a “soupcase.”

The classroom that collected the most cans is being awarded a pizza party with Kaukauna Mayor Anthony Penterman, who was on hand Monday to help load the cans into a truck for St. Joseph.

A small number of cans will go to the Kaukauna Library food pantry.
