18th Annual Empty Bowls a Great Success

February 7, 2020

February 5 was the 18th annual Empty Bowls, an initiative that was created by CDH students and has become a beloved tradition. The Empty Bowls team served a simple meal of soup and bread for both lunch and dinner, with proceeds donated to Heifer International. Approximately 1200 people attended.

“This student-created and student-led project is an inspiration to other students to start something at CDH, leave a legacy, and know that it is possible their impact will be continued many years after they leave CDH,” said Anamaria Cullen ‘20, who was part of the Empty Bowls Leadership Team.

The evening portion of the event also featured a silent auction and performances by the band and choir. 

This was the third year that Ellie Murphy ‘20 has been on the leadership team. “The feeling of success that I have gotten every year at the event is unlike any other,” she said. “This feeling proves that all the work we do throughout the school year is worth it and will benefit a great cause.”
