Snap Away Hunger Day - November 17

Let's give everyone a reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving! For every order placed through Snapfinger on November 17, 2011, Snapfinger will donate a meal on your behalf to various homeless shelters across the country.

Be sure you've downloaded the most recent iPhone and Android App, and share it with your friends as you're ordering for a good cause. Also, don't forget to follow Snapfinger on Twitter and Facebook for weekly contests.

The restaurants we all know and love are online and waiting for your order, and some even offer delivery. Start your dinner order here for tonight, and help this nationwide initiative to Snap Away Hunger!

The SoupMobile Celebrates Jesus

The SoupMobile Presents the Sixth Annual Celebrate Jesus event

December 24-25, 2010

The SoupMan invites you and your family to join him for a magical Christmas event. The SoupMan and his fabulous SoupTeam will be taking 500 homeless men and women right off the streets and putting them up at the downtown Dallas Hyatt Regency Hotel for Christmas. The special guests are treated to food, a warm hotel room, shower and tv - the things that we can often take for granted. You can be a part of this wonderful evening as we make sure there is "room at the inn."
