Wow.
A little over six months ago I posted on Facebook that I had some bowls that I would send out if people donated to their food banks. The first day you all donated over $700.
A few weeks ago I set the goal of hitting $10k in total donation by the end of the year. Then I decided I wanted to do it by Thanksgiving. You did it. As of November 24, 2020 the total donations to food banks by Bowls For Food participants surpassed $10,000
Thank You.
There is still so much to do, and so much hunger in the US right now. But for a moment, everyone who has donated should feel like they have helped someone in this terrible time.
