Team Hammock was part of the larger-than-expected crowd and contributed to the purchase of 2,200 hand-painted bowls from local artists and students, giving the Capital Area Food Bank their single largest donation day of the year with more than $30,000 raised.
Here's how it worked: Everyone picked a beautiful hand-crafted bowl, then had it washed and filled with soup from one of many local restaurants who donated their best recipes and time. We then took our soup out to a beautiful outdoor courtyard area to sit and relax with some live music. Our bowls were washed and wrapped to be taken home as a reminder of those we helped out!
Proceeds from this year's project will go to the food bank's Kids Café program, which provides hot meals and homework assistance at after-school programs around Central Texas.
