Empty Bowls raises awareness
Event educates students, community members about hunger in Minnesota By Keleenah Yang Journalist One out of every four people in the world is starving, which is why for the third year, Daniel Campbell and Lisa Fralish helped put on the Empty Bowls fundraiser which raises money to end hunger in local communities. Students were able to make bowls for the event, which was at Klas Center at Hamline University. Not only did Hancock-Hamline Collaborative Magnet School students make bowls, but so did Hamline University students, Northern Clay Center, Fired It Up Studios, Edina Art Center, Bungalow Pottery, Dock 6 Pottery, Yali You, Halley Sobeck, Hmong Academy, Michael Ziomko, and other local artists. “I had fun making the bowls,”
said one Hancock student. “I think that helping the hungry is very necessary.” The event was on April 2, and lasted from 11 am to 7 pm. Those who came would choose a bowl made by members throughout the community, get soup, and participate in activities. A variety of community organizations helped by donating soup. Organizations included Salut, Cafe LAtte, Saffron Restaurant and Lounge, Seward Co-op, The Wedge, Gingko Coffeehouse, Jefferson’s Pub and Grill, Jane Southwood and the Mississippi Market. Everyone was welcome to attend. Many attendants were able to learn more about hunger in Minnesota. “In Minnesota, people are more likely to be hungry,” said Fralish. Participants at Empty Bowls were able to donate money to help fight

hunger in Minnesota. Those who did were able to take a bowl home. Over 200 people attended, and 2,081.31 were raised and split between Keystone & Community Service, and the White Earth Land Recovery Project.
