Help North Shore Bank in Pulaski Sack Hunger in Souper Bowl II

Community event to collect cans of soup for Pulaski Food Pantry

BROOKFIELD, Wis. – North Shore Bank will be collecting cans of soup at its branch in Pulaski from Monday, Jan. 23 – Sunday, Feb. 5, in an effort to sack hunger in Souper Bowl II. Non-perishable food items collected will go to Pulaski Food Pantry and anyone that supports the cause can sign up to win two box seats for a game at Lambeau Field during the 2012 regular football season.

 “Our goal is to collect 1,200 cans, which is the amount needed to line them up side by side across the entire length of a football field – an official touchdown,” said Mistine Thomson, the Pulaski branch manager for North Shore Bank.  “We encourage all customers, friends and neighbors to stop by our branch, donate canned goods and help us tackle hunger here in Northeast Wisconsin.”

Pulaski High School (PHS) Culinary Arts Prostart Teams will also be serving minestrone and potato soup to guests at the North Shore Bank Pulaski location on Friday, Feb. 3. Any cash donations to the PHS teams will go toward funding for an upcoming competition in March. Friday’s event will also host a play area for children, where kids can create their own “dollar” bills, color pictures of North Shore Bank mascot Seymour Savings the Seagull and get temporary tattoos.

The public is encouraged to watch the Souper Bowl action at North Shore Bank’s website, where the grand total from all branches will be updated daily on the football field.
