Working to end hunger, one bowl at a time
We are currently working to organize an Empty Bowls fund raising event in Bowling Green on February 13, 2013. Empty Bowls works with artists and members of the community to help raise funds and awareness to end hunger in our communities.
For our Empty Bowls event, area potters work to create beautiful handcrafted bowls, which they donate for the event. On the night of the event, the public is invited to attend a benefit dinner. Food for the dinner is provided by area restaurants, as well as local individuals. Each person attending is asked to make a minimum donation of $10. Each guest then selects a bowl from the many beautiful bowls created by our area artists. They are then served a simple meal of soup and bread, along with a beverage. 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 donated for this year's event is going to be distributed equally between the Manna Mart at HOTEL Inc., and to the Life Care Ministry run by the University Church of Christ.
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.
