Seabold United Methodist Church on Bainbridge Island will help tackle hunger with the help of the 12s.

The United Methodist Churches in Seattle/Washington have challenged their colleagues in the New England Annual Conference to a food drive.

The contest is to see which churches can collect the most non-perishable food items between now and the big game on Sunday, Feb. 1, where the Seattle Seahawks will take on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

12th Man fans and all other islanders are encouraged to come by and drop off donations at Seabold United Methodist Church, located at 6894 Seabold Church Road, or at any other participating churches. Donation suggestions include soups, canned vegetables, peanut butter, canned meat, rice, dried beans and more.

The church will accept donations until noon on Sunday, Feb. 1 to help feed more hungry people than New England cans while showing that islanders are #UnitedInBlue on and off the field.
