Youth for Youth fundraiser — formerly Empty Bowls — set for March 4
The Youth United Way of Washington County-East is hosting its annual Youth for Youth fundraiser on Tuesday at Stillwater Area High School.
The event — formerly known as Empty Bowls — is intended to raise awareness for the challenges faced by local youth.
Attendees buy a meal of soup, bread and dessert, receive a hand-crafted bowl by local artists, and can purchase raffle tickets and bid on auction items. The money raised is allocated to local agencies to benefit youth programs, said Kristin Kroll, executive director of United Way of Washington County-East.
'This event is more than just a fundraiser — it's a way to bring our community together in support of local youth,' Kroll said. 'Through Youth United, students are not only raising funds for critical issues like mental health and safe relationships but also learning the importance of philanthropy and giving back. It's about empowering the next generation to make a meaningful impact.'
Tickets are $10. The cost for children 5 and younger is $5.
All attendees are encouraged to bring a pair of new or gently used mittens to be donated to families in need through St. Andrew's Community Resource Center in Mahtomedi.
