CULLMAN, Ala. – On Friday afternoon, Cullman Caring for Kids (CCK) got the final numbers, and the last check, from the proceeds of the 2019 Empty Bowls of Cullman County Chili Dinner, which took place on Feb. 18. Event founder and coordinator Tanya Shearer presented CCK Director Javon Daniel a check that brought Empty Bowls' total contribution to the food bank to $14,000 for this year.
Afterward, Daniel told The Tribune, “It was a tremendous, tremendous success. There was maybe a glitch or two, but this year seemed to go off very smoothly. The entertainment was incredible! The volunteers that helped in both of the kitchens, the carry-out, that helped with the silent auction, helped with carrying the carry-outs to the people on the outside… We had the Scouts there. We had the Youth Leadership kids there. Many volunteers. It has been a tremendous success!”
Including this year, Empty Bowls has raised approximately $125,000 for CCK since 2003.
