More than 250 people attended the Northside Empty Bowls event at Warner Park Community Recreation Center (WPCRC) Saturday, March 14. The food was delectable, the locally made pottery was stunning, and the sense of community was strong. The event raised over $1,800 for the FEED Kitchens. A huge thank you to Jacob Tisue at WPCRC, Madison Parks, MSCR, Northside Farmers Market, River Bakery, Cajun Cook, Mandy’s Mood Foods and the Northside Youth Council for their contributions. Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.
