It's that time of year again when the Empty Bowls Committee starts gearing up for another great event, and it all starts with you. We are asking for bowl donations of course! Last year we had over 1400 bowls donated in a variety of mediums -clay, wood, paper, metal and fiber and over 700 people attended the event. While most bowls are soup-sized and are offered for a $25 donation, larger bowls are very popular and priced accordingly.
