Empty Bowls fundraiser scheduled for Thursday Empty Bowls fundraiser scheduled for Thursday by Mark McGowan NIU students have a way to feed you and the homeless at the same time.
Additional donations are welcome.
All proceeds benefit the Hope Haven homeless shelter in DeKalb. People don't realize how many homeless people there are in this county, and that they don't have something to eat every night for dinner. Thursday's menu includes chicken noodle soup, cream of broccoli soup and peanut butter soup, an African recipe. Beverages include coffee, tea and lemonade. Students hope to sell 300 bowls, Shields said.
