Eighth-graders at Saint Joseph Catholic School will hold Operation Soup Bowl, a bread and soup lunch, to fight poverty in Fort Collins from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 3, at Meredith Hall, 300 W. Mountain Avenue.

The annual event is held by the students to help raise awareness and assistance for the less fortunate in our community. All proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels, Catholic Charities, and Gabriel House.

Tickets to Operation Soup Bowl are $20 for adults and $10 for children and can be purchased at Saint Joseph Catholic School and at the door on the day of the event. Tickets include bread, soup, beverage, and a pottery bowl handmade by the students, while they last.
