Dubuque Soup-er Bowl raises money to fight food insecurity [Video]

DUBUQUE, Iowa (KCRG) – A nonprofit in Dubuque hosted an early ‘Soup-er’ Bowl Sunday. Instead of football, though, this one featured actual soup and bowls.

The event at Convivium Urban Farmstead was a fundraiser to benefit the St. Stephens branch of the River Bend Food Bank and Convivium, nonprofits that address food insecurity in Eastern Iowa.

“Convivium will use the funds to help finance our free casserole program. So each week during the year, we make and bake and give away 250 free casseroles,” said Leslie Shalabi, cofounder of Convivium.

“Events such as this are important, because I think it really draws our attention to food insecurity in the community,” she added.

Shalabi said around 7,100 people in Dubuque County are considered food insecure.

“That’s about 7% of Dubuque County,” said Shalabi.

Feeding America reports that it would take an average of $4.8 million each year to meet the needs of every person in Dubuque County who is fighting food insecurity.

The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Find This War of Mine on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/282070/This_War_of_Mine/ Find me at these other places!!Discord! https://discord.gg/y3qMQ54UnnTwitch! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesshineTwitter! https://twitter.com/Sunny_PenelopeSupport me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/SunnyPenelope
