Hunger is real in our community – needs at local food pantries continue to increase. Over the Last four years, the number of families visiting the Love Chapel food pantry alone has doubled and they are now serving over 1500 families every month. Love Chapel also prepares over 800 packages of kid-friendly food per week, which the schools distribute to students in need. The increased need has stretched existing resources like food purchases, facilities, staff, volunteers, and equipment. Unfortunately, food donations, though generous, have not kept pace with the increased need, causing the delima to purchase more, or give out less,
The community is invited to the 27th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser, which will be held on Saturday, March 15th at Central Middle School from 4:00-6:00pm. Tickets will be available on the Empty Bowls Facebook page and on the day of the event. Guests will enjoy unlimited soup, bread, and cookies. Guests will be able to purchase choices from a variety of ceramic bowls crafted by local artists, teachers, and students at the event.
100% of the proceeds from Empty Bowls goes directly to 6 local pantries and shelters: Love Chapel, Turning Point, the Salvation Army, the Community Center of Hope, Thrive Alliance, and Horizon House. Representatives from all 6 agencies will be present at the event with information to share.
Over the next few months, the leadership team for Empty Bowls will be reaching out to soup makers, bread bakers, corporate sponsors, day-of-event volunteers, and bowl makers. Anyone interested in supporting this event can find more information on the Empty Bowls Facebook page or by contacting Sarah Sanders: [email protected]
