Eighth Annual Empty Bowls Event Planned for February 18, 2020!
We are excited to announce that the Eighth Annual Empty Bowls event will be taking place in Bowling Green on February 18, 2020! Empty Bowls works with artists and members of the community to help raise funds and awareness to end hunger in our communities.
Once again, for the upcoming event, we are asking area potters (professionals, amateurs, and students) to make bowls throughout the upcoming months to donate to our event. Last year, through the hard work of volunteers we were able to display over 1000 hand crafted bowls, and we are hoping, that with the involvement of both student and adult volunteers to have even more beautiful bowls for our guests to choose from on the night of the big event. On the night of the big event, the public will once more be invited to attend our Empty Bowls benefit dinner. It doesn't matter if you made a bowl or not. Everyone is invited. On the night of the event each person attending will be asked to make a minimum donation of $15. Each guest may then select a bowl from the many beautiful bowls created by our area artists. They are then served a simple meal of soup, beverage and a dessert. After the meal, each person gets to take the bowl home with them. It makes a beautiful addition to their home, and also serves as a reminder that there are many empty bowls in our community that go unfilled each day.
All funds from the event are donated to area charities which focus on providing food to those who are hungry. All money raised in the upcoming event is going to be distributed to area food pantries to help them get food to our friends and neighbors in need.
If you would like more information about our event, or would like to contribute, please visit our contact page and fill out the form and someone will contact you as soon as possible. Working together, through simple acts of kindness, we can make a tremendous difference in the lives of all those around us.
