All Faiths Food Bank’s annual crowd-pleasing Bowls of Hope event took place on Sunday, November 10 at Ed Smith Stadium. This event highlighted Hershorin Schiff Community Day School's commitment to service, as students contributed to the fight against hunger through their art. Each year, more than 1,500 guests attend the event, one of the community’s largest and most popular family-friendly gatherings, where more than 40 of the area’s finest restaurants and caterers serve delicious soups, bread, desserts and more.

Hershorin Schiff Community Day School, which serves students in preschool through eighth grade, operates with a mission to impact the world by creating a community where children of all faiths demonstrate integrity, academic excellence and a desire to improve the world. At the Bowls of Hope event, students crafted one-of-a-kind, handmade bowls to help raise awareness about hunger in our community. Attendees were able to choose a unique bowl as a symbol of solidarity and compassion for those experiencing food insecurity.

“Our students understand that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a significant impact," said Head of School, Dan Caesar. "By participating in Bowls of Hope, they’re not just making art—they’re creating a ripple effect of generosity and compassion throughout our community.” He added that Community Day School emphasizes the importance of giving back through student-led mitzvah projects. Each year, K-8 classrooms engage in meaningful service initiatives designed to foster empathy, responsibility and community involvement. This year, the ceramic art club chose to support All Faiths Food Bank by creating unique bowls that symbolize nourishment and hope.
