where else to look... I am part of an event called the North Texas Soup N=

Bowl.=3D20
We are looking to raise money for a food pantry in The Colony, Texas.
I am trying to figure out a way to make several hundred bowl for people t=

food=3D20
pantry and the needs of struggling families.
Please, I don't know what else to do except ask: do you have any ideas fo=

how I can teach some volunteers (kids from the school I work at) as well =

supervising adults, how to do this simlpy and cost effectively????"
We have suggested the most obvious way (to us) would be to slump mold a=3D2=

able to help.
Her name is Sara and her email address, which she has given us permission=

wants to do good things for the less advantaged.
All the best,
