Throughout the year, Longview Community Ministries collects food and/or donations to meet the needs of those in crisis in Longview.

February

Souper Bowl Sunday

This is easy! Just collect food at your Super Bowl party and turn it into a Souper Bowl Party! Barrels are available or you can bring your post-party donation Monday-Friday 9:00am-12:00 noon to the LCM office.  For deliveries of large quantities, please call to make arrangements.

Canstruct

Canstruct is a wonderful contest in which youth groups compete by creating a masterpiece using cans, boxes of cereal, or other foods on the "Food Box List" as building materials. The skills to design and build a structure that is aesthetically appealing while structurally sound present a real challenge! In fact, local engineers volunteer to serve as mentors. The Longview Mall provides the forum and everyone is encouraged to vote on their favorite structure, one vote per can. Your school or youth group can participate by contacting  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
