Summary
In March 2015, the Holy Cross Catholic Church youth group organized a Lenten Rice Bowl campaign on Beaver Island. Collection bowls were placed at local businesses and the library, while parishioners were invited to take bowls home. The announcement said donations would support Catholic Relief Services and that 25% would benefit hunger and poverty alleviation in Northern Michigan.
