Empty Bowls, Full Hearts At Hamptons Benefit: Photos

AMAGANSETT, NY — Both the parking lot at the American Legion Hall in Amagansett and a sea of soup bowls were full on Sunday, as Project MOST held its annual Empty Bowls benefit.

Empty Bowls is an international project aimed at raising awareness of, and ending, hunger.

Project MOST's Executive Director Rebecca Morgan Taylor and Development Director Susan Hanley joined Barbara Kinnier, Wellness Foundation's community outreach director, in making sure every guest had the opportunity to try their choices among the delectable array of soup offerings.

The event featured 30 local chefs and restaurants, which presented their own featured soups, also available to take home in quart size containers. East Hampton Town Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez and Town "Soup-ervisor" Peter Van Scoyoc received Empty Bowls awards for community service.
