What an incredible day! This year’s Empty Bowls event was our most successful yet, raising nearly $22,000 to support LIFE Food Pantry’s mission of feeding our neighbors and helping local families in need. We welcomed more than 350 guests for a day filled with delicious food, beautiful pottery, music, and community spirit.
This record-breaking event would not have been possible without the generosity and hard work of so many people. A heartfelt thank-you to Prince of Peace Church for helping host and organize the event, and to the 125 volunteers who worked before, during, and after to make everything run smoothly. We’re also grateful to the talented high school musicians who added a special touch to the day, the local potters who donated beautiful handmade bowls and pottery, and the restaurants, bakeries, and beverage sponsors who helped make the meal so special.
Thank you to the local businesses and community members who donated raffle basket items and centerpieces, our Empty Bowls event sponsors, and the sustaining corporate sponsors and congregations who support LIFE throughout the year.
Empty Bowls is a wonderful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together for a common purpose. Every bowl, meal, donation, and helping hand made a difference. Because of this incredible support, more funds will go directly toward LIFE’s mission of providing food and assistance to our neighbors in need.
Thank you for helping make this year’s Empty Bowls our best one yet!
