Thirteen Hands4Hope youth participated in the Empty Bowls Fundraiser which aims to reduce hunger and malnutrition both locally and internationally! This was their third year participating, and on the day of the event, over 300 bowls of soup were distributed - each with a handmade bowl made by local students!

We appreciate the Empty Bowls Committee and organizers for giving Hands4Hope youth the opportunity to be involved in this service-learning experience and for choosing the Hands4Hope Emergency Food Pantry as one of the beneficiaries!

Meet our Youth Spotlight, Emma Lopez!

Emma has been involved with Hands4Hope for the past two years and says, "Since joining Hands4Hope I have been able to gain a family outside of my family. Especially in regard to the Emergency Food Pantry Committee, it’s provided me with a safe place to improve on myself and the skills I have acquired and to create long lasting relationships with positive people."
