COLUMBUS, Ind. – The 23rd annual Empty Bowls has been converted to a drive-thru this year and is set for this Saturday, February 20, from 4 to 6 p.m., at Donner Center.
Empty Bowls raises money for six area food pantries and shelters. In addition to a hot meal of homemade soups and bread, you can purchase bowls made by local potters.
Proceeds go to organizations addressing hunger and homelessness in Bartholomew County: Love Chapel, Brighter Days Housing, Horizon House Homeless Shelter, Community Center of Hope, Turning Point Domestic Violence Services, Salvation Army, and Thrive Alliance.
Last year’s event netted $18,000. For more information, go to the Empty Bowls Facebook page.
