NEWS ABOUT EMPTY BOWLS!
EMPTY BOWLS this year broke all records as a fund raiser at both the Tarrant Area Food Bank and the North Texas Food Bank! Imagine, each event raised over $ 115,000! Almost a quarter of a million dollars to feed hungry people in this area. Just amazing, thanks to you.
In Dallas, everyone helped by giving us over 2,700 bowls. Corporate sponsors made wonderful contributions. The Food Bank in Dallas had to stop the restaurant participation at 26! There just wasn't room for anymore. Tarrant Area has a similar story.
The quality of your work and the discriminations of the diners resulted in both Silent Auctions being completely sold, at the best bids yet!
Our thanks to each of you for your bowls, we almost reached the limits of our resources this year, so you'll get a plea for bowls for the next year this fall. We will seriously need your help. Shucks, the Food Banks already tell us EMPTY BOWLS 2009 will be Friday, February 20th.
THANK YOU! Your generous contributions make this event possible. Like you, we think caring about your community is what living here is all about. You really do make lives better.
Sincerely yours:
John and Darlene Williams
Every $1 donated by the generosity of the patrons like you become $12 in food and services. It is truley amazing what a difference you can make!
