Despite being closed for more than half the year due to COVID-19, Bowers Museum looks at 2020 with pride and hope for 2021. Having received multiple awards for Best Museum in OC, the Bowers is humbled and grateful by the outpouring of support that has allowed the museum to adapt and continue to serve the community, despite what sometimes seemed insurmountable obstacles.
Thanks to our donors and members, the Bowers has been able to provide important services for our community in 2020, including:
- 23,193 free meals for front line medical and emergency services workers, low-income children, families, seniors, and the homeless.
- 1,527 art kits for low-income children and seniors
- 1,148 bags of groceries for low-income children and seniors
Bowers is proud to continue these projects into 2021, now shifting our former afterschool program to offer free groceries to those low-income Santa Ana families.
