DAVENPORT, IOWA– Join River Bend Foodbank on Sunday, December 10th from 11 am to 3 pm. Enjoy a bowl of soup, bread and dessert. There will be children’s activities, a volunteer opportunity and raffle and silent auction items. Every dollar raised will go directly to feeding hungry families in our communities. The goal of this event is to bring our community together (at a very busy time of year) to share a meal, participate in a volunteer activity, learn more about the hunger issue in our community and have some fun. It is an open house type of event, so individuals can come anytime between 11 am and 3pm. This is being held at 4010 Kimmel Drive, Davenport. Cost is $25 for a family of 4 ($5 each additional person). Each family attending will receive 1 Isabel Bloom Friendship Bowl. “We’re excited about Fill the Bowl,” said Michael Miller, President & CEO. “You really have to see River Bend Foodbank to understand the scope of the hunger-relief effort in eastern Iowa and western Illinois. We’ve created an informal, family-friendly event for people to enjoy a nice lunch, have some fun, and see the place. And the keepsake bowl that Isabel Bloom created for this event is a beautiful reminder of the 1 in 8 people in our community who don’t have enough food.” Tickets can be purchased at riverbendfoodbank.org/fill-the-bowl or by calling our office at 563-345-6490 x201. This event will conclude River Bend Foodbank’s 35th Anniversary celebrations. Bring your family, friends and neighbors and help us Fill the Bowl! ### About River Bend Foodbank – The Foodbank is the largest hunger relief organization in the Quad Cities and surrounding communities, having distributed over 12 million meals in FY 2016 to hungry people in eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
