In just one week, our community will come together in support of the Franklin Food Pantry in our fight to end hunger. The 3rd Annual Empty Bowls Dinner on Tuesday, May 1 is a family-friendly event that raises funds and awareness for the Franklin Food Pantry as we work towards a hunger-free community. Here are some highlights of the event:
- Delicious soups donated by Whole Foods Market and 3 Restaurant, topped off with some fresh bread and a little something for your sweet tooth
- Kids can make a bowl to take home as part of ArtWeek, Franklin
- All participants are given a handmade ceramic bowl as a reminder that "somewhere, someone's bowl is empty"
- On site giving opportunities such as a Silent Auction of beautiful ceramic bowls, and a Giving Wall where you can purchase a bag of groceries for a Franklin family
Stop by the Franklin High School cafeteria any time between 6 - 8 p.m. and join us for a bowl of soup. At 6:45 p.m., I will give a brief talk about how some of our families in Franklin are struggling with hunger.
This very special evening is made possible through a wonderful collaboration with the Franklin High School Empty Bowls Club. It reflects the hard work of a dedicated and passionate group of EB Club members, district K-12 art teachers, their students and Franklin community members.
We will be selling 350 tickets through our website on a first-come, first-served basis. You can buy your tickets now online. There are also sponsorship opportunities available for groups and corporations.
Thank you so much for your support. I hope you can join us!
