Letter to the editor | Altrusa says thanks for support of Empty Bowls

The 10th Annual Empty Bowls event is complete, and Altrusa of Gig Harbor would like to say an enormous “Thank You ” to the community for making this year such an terrific success.

We could not do it without the partnerships that make it happen:

• sponsoring businesses and individuals,
• restaurants who served a variety of delicious soups,
• potters and woodworkers who contributed over 1,000 bowls,
• volunteers who kept it all together, and best of all, at least
• the 500+ people who came to purchase a bowl or two and be rewarded with “a simple meal of soup and bread”.

Best of all, over $30,000 was raised by the event and will help local non-profits feed local children and families who might otherwise go hungry.

Gig Harbor is a community with a big heart, and Altrusa Gig Harbor is proud to be a part of it!

Nancy Hohenstein, President
