St. Louis Park Emergency Program's 13th Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser

Come join over 2,000 of your neighbors at the St. Louis Park
Emergency Program’s 13th annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser at Westwood
Lutheran Church on April 10th.   Westwood Lutheran Church is located at 9001 Cedar Lake Road in St. Louis Park.   Lunch is served from 11:30 AM-1:30 PM and dinner
will be served from 4:30 PM-6:30 PM.  This is
a pay what you are able event so that we can truly make this an event that is
open to all community members.  The event brings together art and hunger education in a community-wide effort to
support our neighbors in need.  A simple
delicious meal of soup and bread is available for lunch or dinner. 

Local artists and community members make bowls that are
distributed at the event and local musicians provide entertainment to those in
attendance. New this year will be
children activities that give families the unique chance to teach their
children about community service and helping those in need. Thanks to the City
of St. Louis Park, this year’s Empty Bowls will be a zero waste event.  Empty Bowls raises over $26,000 annually and
provides direct assistance to over 4,000 STEP clients.  Thanks for supporting STEP and your community
members.  We hope to see you at Westwood
Lutheran Church this Thursday, April 10th.
