4th Annual Y Empty Bowls EventJoin us for an evening of great food, live music, art, and community at the 4th Annual Y Empty Bowls Event, benefiting the YMCA at Virginia Tech's Meals On Main program. This vital initiative helps provide nutritious meals to children throughout the New River Valley who are experiencing food insecurity.
Guests will enjoy a selection of delicious soups prepared by local restaurant partners while supporting a meaningful cause. As part of the Empty Bowls tradition, attendees will have the opportunity to select a handcrafted ceramic bowl to take home as a reminder that many community members continue to face food insecurity. Every bowl has been created and generously donated by members of the YMCA Pottery Studio, whose artistry and generosity help make this event possible.
