Hillcrest High School’s Interact Club is hosting a Santa’s Helpers Toy Drive today from 5-7 p.m. Drop toys off on the Aberdeen side of the school, where students will be waiting to pick up toys from the vehicles so you don’t even have to leave your car. Last year, the club collected 200 toys for the charity.
Episcopal students William Heidarian, Zoe Long, Kaki Miller, and Eric Stern pose with their bowls created for the Empty Bowls Project
Episcopal School of Dallas students William Heidarian, Zoe Long, Kaki Miller, and Eric Stern created bowls for the Empty Bowls Project, a community service event that raises money to combat hunger. At the Dallas event, scheduled for March 7, at the Meyerson Center, guests are welcome to partake in a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl made by local craftspeople and students as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is then donated to the North Texas Food Bank. Earlier this year, the event raised more than $156,000 to benefit the North Texas Food Bank.
