Empty Bowls brings in $16,000 to fight hunger

This year's Empty Bowls fund-raiser -- all proceeds benefit the HALO homeless shelter and the Racine County Food Bank -- was success.

Committee chair Dan White reports that 900 meals were served, and proceeds raised totalled $16,000 -- 23% more than last year.

Dan has created a slideshow of wonderful photos -- from the making of the bowls, to the making of the soup, to the serving and the enjoying. It's almost like being there again (but without the wonderful soup.)
