Local merchants also donate many items. The event includes breakfast snacks and <br />lunch, a silent auction, and, of course, the famous Campbell’s Sweet Hot Mustard. Each year, the event raises <br />$7,000-$10,000 that is used to purchase equipment for Campbell Center programs. <br /> <br />The bazaar is open to the public and is a wonderful holiday shopping location with great gifts for all. For more <br />information, call Adult Services Program Manager Yvaughn Tompkins at 682-5318. <br /> <br />FOOD for Lane County Welcomes Hult Center Flower Pots to New Home <br />The City has provided a long-term loan of concrete planters to <br />FOOD for Lane County’s Dining Room. The large round <br />planters have been in front of the Hult Center for 25 years. <br />While the planters were no longer needed for the Hult Center’s <br />landscaping, FOOD for Lane County’s Dining Room on 8th <br />Avenue has been looking for planters that will help control <br />parking traffic while providing a visual buffer from the street to <br />the parking lot. <br /> <br />Josie McCarthy, FOOD for Lane County Program Manager at <br />the Dining Room, said: “This is a great partnership for us. <br />We’ll take good care of them and use community volunteers to <br />keep them planted with attractive flowering plants. They are <br />awesome and totally spruce up our neighborhood! ” McCarthy <br />added, “With the downturn in the economy we are currently <br />serving an average of 350 meals a night to lower or no-income <br />adults and families with children.” <br /> <br />Collaboration between Hult Center, Facilities, and Planning and Development staff made this community <br />partnership possible.
