Every year, 15 million people die from hunger-related causes. One way to help fight world hunger is by participating in the Empty Bowls program put on by the sixth grade SPRINT class.
The SPRINT students will sell bowls and serve a soup supper for a price of ten dollars per person on March 27. Soups will be donated, and the proceeds will go to hunger fighting organizations to help end food insecurity.
The Empty Bowls event is to take place from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the school’s multi-purpose room. Last year, the event brought in over $500; this year’s sixth graders set a goal of breaking $600.
Sixth grade student Vance Bushong said, “Even though our event is small, we can make a difference.”
This project helps the students to see the importance of fighting world hunger and get a sense of what life is like beyond their own lives.
Sixth grade student Breck Goodman said, “You can’t say, ‘I’m not starving, so why should I care?’”
