Kick-off breakfast for the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Rice Bowl collection
will be held Saturday, January 30 at St. Thomas More from 9:00-11:00 AM, in the lower
level. We will share a simple rice bowl breakfast and information on how to make for a
successful Rice Bowl campaign and collection. We will hear from CRS Rice Bowl grant recipients; these are
folks across the Diocese who have used the 25% that stays here to support hunger programs. From the funds
collected 75% will go to support the many international development programs that CRS oversees in 100 coun-
tries around the world. 25% stays in the Diocese to fund hunger fighting projects in communities all across
our 22 counties. We hope you will join us in kicking off the this years CRS Rice Bowl!
