Buy a bowl to help a hungry child! Empty Bowls, presented in Gig Harbor by Altrusa Saturday, March 4th 11am-2pm, is an effort to raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger. Buy a bowl created by one of the area’s fine potters and enjoy a simple meal of soup and bread, then take home your bowl as a reminder of the empty bowls in our community. Soups and bread are donated and 100% of net proceeds go to help local organizations feed children and families.
Did you know that 1 in every 4 children in the Peninsula School District qualify for free or reduced-price lunches, meaning they and their families are at risk of experiencing hunger? There are a number of great local organizations who provide access to food through delivery programs and food banks. They are primarily volunteer efforts, but food supplies require funds. Empty Bowls raises funds to help those local organizations. 100% of the net funds raised are distributed to local organizations by Altrusa of Gig Harbor Foundation for the purchase and delivery of food.
