2013

Alameda County’s first-ever Stone Soup Holiday Food Drive and Design Competition, which culminated in November with some inspired displays made entirely with boxes and cans of non-perishable food. The imaginative creations included a Bay Bridge montage, a computer work station and a 3-D depiction of Alameda County with landmarks such as Mission Peak and the Altamont windmills – were created with 10,000 pounds – or 5 tons – of edibles donated by County employees in time for the holidays. The total donations mark a more than 3-fold increase over last year’s total.
