EMPTY BOWLS

The concept of Empty Bowls was brought to our valley by the late Ginger Rice. Each year potters craft and donate soup bowls. Restaurants donate gourmet soups. Bakeries, markets, stores donate cookies, candies, and beverages.

DELICIOUS FUNDRAISING

Empty Bowls, an annual event, is held the second Saturday of October at the Soup Kitchen. The event provides funding for the daily meals served at the Soup Kitchen.

Patrons choose a bowl from the nearly 900 donated by local potters and enjoy a meal of soup, breads, and dessert. They then take their chosen bowls home as a reminder that there are people who daily experience hunger in our valley.
 
Empty Bowls began in 1997 and has been sponsored by Friends of Catholic Outreach each succeeding year.

VOLUNTEER CELEBRATION

Each year the Board of Directors celebrates the work of the volunteers in each program at the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner.
