Empty Bowls is a community project to raise money for local hunger prevention efforts. 

For $10 you get to choose a bowl created by local potters, community members, and students.  These bowls are each unique and a great keepsake!  You then fill it with soup donated by local restaurants.  The meal includes bread, beverage, and desert.

The event also features a raffle, local entertainment, clowns for the children, and a pottery demonstration by a local professional potter.
