The 2017 Past Bown set a record, with 13,880 pounds of pasta collected and distributed to over 46 nonprofit organizations serving local communities.   The Pasta Bowl also provides a spotlight on roughly 3,000 children in our area suffering from food insecurities.

Students from Hoosier Road Elementary and Riverside Intermediate joined HSEHS Senior Hana Ghoneima to shop for a few more pounds of pasta to add to bulging crates of donated food. The pasta is a core staple for area food banks and comes at an essential time during the pre-holiday months when donations are often critically low.

A food drive of this magnitude is not possible without the army of donors, but also the behind the scenes support of Meijer, ProShred, Harvest Food Bank, and the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation.
