Souper Bowl of Caring Dripping Springs Style

We stopped in the Dripping Springs HEB for a few things yesterday and participated in a clever campaign for the Souper Bowl of Caring.  The store has loaded up individual shopping bags with $5 in healthy groceries for customers to purchase and donate to the Souper Bowl of Caring right in the store.  Employees ring a cowbell each time a bag is purchased -- while we were there one shopper purchased 20 bags for this wonderful cause.  The Souper Bowl of Caring takes place each year to help fill local food banks.  For more information about great people and events in Dripping Springs, Texas, please visit http://www.drippingspringslife.com/.
