Empty Bowls is a community project to raise money for local hunger prevention efforts. The money raised at this annual event is distributed to area non-profit agencies through grants. The annual Empty Bowls event takes place in fall with multiple bowl painting events prior. If you would like to learn more about this program, including how to become involved with planning, please use the contact information listed below.

Description:
At the Empty Bowls event attendees get to choose a ceramic bowl created by local potters, community members, and students. These bowls are each unique and a great keepsake! It is then filled with soup donated by local restaurants. The meal includes bread, beverage, and desert. The event also features a raffle, entertainment, clowns for the children, and a pottery demonstration by a local professional potter.

History:
Empty Bowls has been an annual community fund raiser for 6 years and continues to grow every year. Last year we had over 900 attendees at the event and this year we are expecting over 1000 community members to join us in our fight against hunger and poverty.
