CSA to host annual Empty Bowls fundraiser
Community Services Agency plans to host its annual Empty Bowls fundraiser on Sunday, April 28, at Rengstorff Park, 201 S. Rengstorff Ave.
The Mountain View-based nonprofit offers a variety of services for low-income local residents, including rent and utility assistance, food, help finding housing and senior case management.
Originally a soup supper, the Empty Bowls fundraiser morphed into an outdoor ice cream sundae party called “Sundaes on a Sunday” during the pandemic.
That same format will continue for the third year in a row, with bottomless Baskin Robbins ice cream and bowls for the Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild
The event will take place in the BBQ area of the park from 2-4 p.m.
Tickets are $40 for adults, $30 for seniors and $10 for children. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit csacares.org/events.
