Taken from a 12/1/2010 YourHub.com article:
You're invited to help fill "Empty Bowls" in our community. The annual Cherry Creek Schools Empty Bowls event, benefiting Food Bank of the Rockies, will be held from 4-7 pm on Thursday, December 9, in the West Cafeteria at Cherry Creek High School.
Handmade bowls made by ceramic students from Cherry Creek High School, West Middle School, Prairie Middle School, Belleview Elementary, Homestead Elementary, Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Elementary will be sold at the event for $10 and up. Each purchased bowl will include tasty soup. There will also be a silent auction including unique artwork, Direct TV for one year, and much, much more!
All proceeds go to Food Bank of the Rockies. Each dollar raised provides four meals through the food bank. In the past four years, the Cherry Creek Schools Empty Bowls event has raised more than $30,000 for Food Bank of the Rockies. The Empty Bowls are a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world and in our own backyard. Hope to see you on December 9!
If you're interested in helping or donating silent auction items, please contact: Efong Yee at Eyee2@cherrycreekschools.org.

For More Hunger Bytes...
There's a lot that goes into our world of fighting hunger and feeding hope. We couldn't have distributed near 36 million pounds of food last year without the thousands of people who donate time, funds, food and event organization on our behalf.
Throughout the year, there's a continuous schedule of events, promotions, food drives etc. that happen around our service area. The dedication and hard work that happens behind the scenes often goes overlooked. As do the faces of hunger - those who you come across every day who silently suffer and wonder where their next meal will come from.
Thus the origination of this FBR blog...we want to highlight stories of your neighbors who utilize the services of our nearly 1,000 hunger relief partner agencies. We also want to highlight the activies that you might not hear about otherwise and give you sneak peaks into the FBR world!
Thanks for visiting. Check back for updates!
