Holy Cross hosted its second Empty Bowls Simple Supper on Thursday, March 1, in support of the Lenten Food Drive for the John S. Mulholland Family Foundation, which serves established food pantries in Washington, DC. The event this year was organized by Campus Ministry, Christian Service, and the Art and Performing Art departments. Guests to the event donated five cans of food or non-perishable items as admittance to the supper. Soups and bread, provided by the Mothers Club, were served in bowls created by students, which guests were given as a keepsake from the event. Open Mic entertainment was organized by the Performing Arts department during dessert.
The Empty Bowls Simple Supper culminated the Lenten Food drive which included a competition between the Purple (Sophomores and Seniors) and White (Freshmen and Juniors). The winning team was announced during the All-School Assembly on Monday, March 5 and was awarded to the Purple team, with only a seven-can difference in donations. Over 1,800 cans were collected during the drive.
