Empty Bowls fundraiser set for Saturday


By From SaraBeth [email protected]

The 17th Annual Empty Bowls event will be Saturday, Jan. 31st at 5:30 p.m. at Central Middle School, located at 725 7th St. in Columbus.

Local potters make bowls that people can purchase along with a meal of donated homemade soups, breads and desserts. The bowls remind us of how we can help when we come together -- last year this event was able to raise and donate over $12,000 to help combat hunger through Love Chapel, Human Services, Hope Community Center and Eastside Community Center.

Empty Bowls brings together many community members and groups for one purpose --- helping the hungry. If you would like to donate soup, bread, or dessert, please email [email protected] or call 812-343-3588.

Entertainment this year is provided by The Banisters.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at Viewpoint Books or at the door. Tickets are $20 for soup, bread, drink, & keepsake artisan bowl; $10 for soup, bread, drink ticket; $3 for children under 10. Dessert will be available for $2.

This event is made possible by the following partners: United Way of Bartholomew County, C4 Culinary Arts, Columbus Food Co-op, Pride Alliance Columbus, and Qmix 107.3.[[In-content Ad]]
