MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – 2014 marks the 8th year that North Star Academy will be inviting the community to participate in the Empty Bowls fundraiser. The event will take place in North Star Academy’s Multipurpose room (3030 Wright Street, Marquette Township) on May 16th from 11 am to 2 pm.
The goal of Empty Bowls is to raise awareness and funds for people who experience poverty and are facing hunger. This year, North Star Academy teachers and students are participating in the event by learning about hunger and poverty and crafting handmade bowls.
There is a suggested donation of $10 to $15 to attend the event and tickets will be sold at the high school/elementary offices and at the door. The meal will include a variety of soups, breads, and desserts. Participants also choose a handmade bowl to take home as a reminder that there are too many people without enough food in the world. The event has been extremely successful in past years, raising over $7,000 for local organizations like The Salvation Army, Room at the Inn, Voices for Youth, and Operation Aoy. Proceeds from 2014’s Empty Bowls will be donated to Voices For Youth and NMU Student Organization Marquette Ending Hunger.
Empty Bowls is a great way to bring the community together to help make a difference. Please join us to make this year the best Empty Bowls yet!
