On Sunday, February 23, SOMA Hoops once again teamed up with SOMA Kids Feed Kids, a local organization fighting food insecurity while teaching kids the value of serving their community. Our group of fifteen 3rd and 4th grade girls learned about the crisis of food insecurity in our community, especially during the winter months. SOMA Hoops coaches and local high school students led the group in packing over 90 bags for families in need, which were delivered in partnership with Toni’s Kitchen. Go team!

Big SOMA Hoops Energy at CHS Boys Youth Night
On Wednesday, January 29, a sea of over 120 SOMA Hoopsters in red jerseys filled the Columbia High School gym for our Boys Youth Night. While the Cougars may not have emerged victorious over Central High, it was an unforgettable evening for our kids, beaming with pride and team spirit. And thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, SOMA Basketball Boosters was able to make a contribution to the Boys CHS Basketball Program, which will go toward their end of year banquet. Win or lose, these kids are learning to lift each other up on and off the court, and make a positive impact on our community through basketball.
