Enjoy a Simple Meal. Choose a Pottery Bowl. Feed a Hungry Neighbor.

Hunger affects people you see every day…hardworking people…children in your sons and daughters classrooms, seniors whose expensive medications strain fixed incomes…and so many others. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors struggling to put food on the table. On Wednesday, April 23, 2014, join with local celebrities, hundreds of area potters, area restaurants and this year’s Empty Bowls’ sponsors to make your promise to help end hunger. Drop in at the beautiful Millennium Center anytime between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to enjoy a savory soup lunch, shopping in the ever-popular Empty Bowls Store and bidding in the silent auction. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Order yours today through this link, or comment below for your chance to WIN two tickets!
