Empty BowlsEmpty Bowls

We want to thank everyone who helped to make our Hopkins School Community's 12th annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser for Hunger a big success on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

Our recipe to fill Empty Bowls in our community:

  • 1145 bowls created by our students, staff and community members
  • 34 Hopkins Public Schools art, music and elementary school teachers
  • 205 volunteers and 420 entertainers of all ages
  • 52 unique celebrity bowls for the silent auction
  • 1545 servings of donated soup and bread
  • 43 sponsors of in kind services

Mix well together and the yield will be:
$64,113
including the $49,000 Challenge to the Community Sponsorships
from SUPERVALU and CHOICES FOR CHILDREN
and 139 business, civic, congregation, school & community leaders.

All proceeds will go to support the work of ResourceWest and ICA Food Shelf.

Gratefully,
