Empty Bowl Fundraiser - April 11, 2026

About Empty Bowl

For more than a decade, the Empty Bowl fundraiser has been a favorite event in our community. Not only do we get to showcase the talent and generosity of our local artisans, but the people from all over the area get to come together for food, fellowship, and in support of a great cause!

Local potters and artisans donate their beautiful work to this event, and patrons pay $30 to come and enjoy fabulous home-cooked soups, and receive a handmade bowl.

The event also features a raffle of locally donated goods, from gift certificates to crafts and art and books! Donations toward this event are welcome all year long. We so appreciate the support of our community and local artists.

Come join us for an evening of food & fun!
