8th Annual Empty Bowls Event
The 8th Annual Empty BowlsTM Fundraising Event A HUGE Success! Raising Funds for the Fresh Food Partnership and Helping to Fight Hunger Throughout the Grand Traverse Region.
The Empty BowlsTM Event engaged 700 people from throughout the area in an energetic and delicious community gathering to support the Fresh Food Partnership. Everyone joined in a simple, delicious meal of soups, breads and beverages provided by dozens of local restaurants and vendors. We enjoyed each others' company and were entertained by the joyous music of TC Celtic and Cabin Fever. Over 650 hand-crafted bowls were donated by artists and students from across our region to give evyerone a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.
Proceeds raised from this event are "put to work" by the Fresh Food Partnership, a coaliton of nonprofit organizations and volunteers working to buy and distribute locally grown fruits and vegetables from area farmers to local food pantries for people in need, thereby fighting hunger while supporting local agriculture and reinvesting dollars into the local economy.
