Nyack High School SOS Group Sponsors Empty Bowls Fundraiser to Aid World Hunger

Contact: Nyack High School 353-7100, Tom Burns, SOS Advisor

Nyack High School’s SOS (Students Opposing Starvation) is sponsoring an exciting, delicious and worthy fundraising activity on Wednesday, March 14 from 6 – 8 PM in the High School cafeteria. The group will be bringing to the community the Empty Bowls Project, a worldwide effort to reduce world hunger.

The Empty Bowls Project is a project in which ceramic bowls created by students and staff are sold to attendees and used to serve homemade soup in. Bowls are kept as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. In exchange for the bowl, the soup and musical entertainment there is a $15 donation requested for adults/$10 for students.

Proceeds from the event will be used to fund SOS’ activities, such as the Midnight Run, and other worthy causes such as Oxfam, People to People, and the Heifer Project, all organizations that work to fight hunger locally and globally.

For more information about the event contact the High School at 353-7100, Tom Burns, the SOS Advisor.
