Empty Bowls 2018-Thank You from the Empty Bowls Committee

Thank you to everyone who participated in or attended the 22nd Empty Bowls Festival events this year. Over 600 people participated in the Soup Supper on March 22, and we were able to raise over $11,000 through ticket sales and donations. The Artist Bowl Auction brought in $5,000, and the Artist Bowl Showcase and Gala Reception raised over $1,000. After subtracting expenses and $1,000 for the Empty Bowls Art Grant, Empty Bowls will be able to donate over $14,000 to the Community Cupboard Food Bank.
Community support through events like Empty Bowls is what enables Upper Valley MEND, through the Community Cupboard, to continue providing food bank and emergency family assistance services to residents of the Upper Valley, helping to truly Meet Each Need with Dignity.
