Empty Bowls can be filled! Join us to make a difference.

EMPTY BOWLS CAN BE FILLED

Mark your calendars and join us on Saturday, March 12th from 11-3 pm at Peachtree Corners Presbyterian for the 2016 Empty Bowls Norcross Event. All proceeds benefit the Norcross Co-op.

Empty Bowls Project, an international grassroots effort to raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger. At our last event Empty Bowls Norcross was able to raise and donate over $3,000 to Norcross Co-0p food pantry to address hunger in our community.

Duluth Girl Scout Troop 3626 has 12 Cadets working towards their Silver Awards and several are working in collaboration with Empty Bowls Norcross to address hunger in our community. The girls have been facilitating painting bowls with other Girl Scouts and community members at Eye Candy Art Studio in Downtown Duluth. The scouts have collected over 100 bowls to donate to this year’s event. Event Coordinator, Ellen McCorkle anticipates having over 400 bowls for people to choose from on the day of the event.

Bowls are also made and donated by local potters, some who are masters at their craft.

You have the opportunity to purchase a bowl the day of the event to take home for a suggested donation of $15 or more and with the bowl you will receive a simple meal of homemade soup and bread. The Scouts and church members will be on hand to serve you your meal and talk with you about the needs of our community.

In addition:

There is one more scheduled bowl making workshop on February 21. It will be after church at about 12:30 at Peachtree Corners Presbyterian 5918 Spalding Dr. Peachtree Corners, GA. The church is at the corner of Spalding Dr and Peachtree Corners Circle. The workshop will be in the fellowship hall. Come make a bowl! Donations are asked for to cover the cost of materials- $5 a bowl. Experience is not necessary. We will guide you through the process - its fun! Please let us know you are coming by emailing emptybowlsnorcross@gmail.com
