The Livingston Parish Library is partnering with Mighty Moms, a Livingston Parish-based nonprofit organization, in its monthlong "SOUPER September" food drive during Childhood Hunger Awareness Month.

Throughout September, people can donate unopened cans of chicken noodle soup at any of the five Livingston Parish Library branches during hours of operation. At the end of the month, all donations will be delivered to Mighty Moms.

The donations will go toward Mighty Moms' Full Tummy Program, which provides weekend meals and snacks to disadvantaged children who rely on school-provided meals.

The program feeds hundreds of Livingston Parish children per week, with an annual grocery bill exceeding $91,000.

"The partnership with the Livingston Parish Library has always been a great fit for us, because Mighty Moms and the Library ultimately have the same goal: To benefit the people of Livingston Parish," said Mighty Moms co-founder Dawn Birdsong.

Founded in 2010, Mighty Moms' mission is to end childhood hunger in Livingston Parish, where 1 in 4 children are considered food insecure.

This is the second year the Library has partnered with Mighty Moms for its "SOUPER September" food drive.

"We are honored to partner with Mighty Moms and help them in their fight against childhood hunger," said Livingston Parish Library Director Michelle Parrish. "Mighty Moms has been an incredible resource for many in Livingston Parish, and we're proud to be included in their mission to help Livingston Parish children graduate with a full mind and a full tummy."
