CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Fortera Credit Union employees are using paint brushes to fight local hunger.
In February, 26 employees painted 42 handcrafted bowls to benefit the Empty Bowls Clarksville-Hope not Hunger fundraiser.
A community effort to help fight hunger in the Clarksville area, Empty Bowls benefits two food-based charities: Loaves and Fishes and Urban Ministries Grace Assistance Food Pantry.
At the event, held on February 28, 2017, donors received a simple meal of soup and bread and were able to take a hand-painted bowl as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. Fortera Credit Union is happy to be a part of helping to battle hunger in our community.
