Riffs, Roams and Raves: A Weekly Column
The Empty Bowls project is the largest fundraiser for the Dripping Springs Helping Hands food pantry. It accounts for more than 60% of their annual budget and, according to their website, the rising cost of food, housing, utilities, transportation and healthcare has left many in our area to make impossible choices. Two-thirds of their clients say they have to choose between buying food and paying for housing and 80 percent say they have to choose between food and medicine. The pantry, which is 100 percent volunteer, is currently serving over 100 households each week.
