The mother of all our events...Empty Bowls!
Our fundraiser:
THE EMPTY BOWLS EVENT
AUGUST 24, 2024; 11:30 TO 2PM (doors open at 11am for ticket pick-up and sales)
JULIAN CARROLL CONVENTION CENTER IN PADUCAH, KY
Empty Bowls is our annual event to raise money (since our inception, we have raised over $200,000) for our charity of choice: The Community Kitchen! Our Empty Bowls Event is in good company with other Empty Bowls Events that happen worldwide. Our missions are all the same (to end world food insecurity) and our events are all very similar. At our EB Event we have handmade bowls made and donated by local clay folk (we'll talk about our Throw-A-Thons down below...you want to know about those..) and food donated by local restaurants*. Patrons (that's you!) purchase tickets and on the day of the EB Event you get to pick out a hand made bowl, walk around the room & have some food put into our bowl, and sit with your friends to enjoy a delicious lunch. Proceeds go to our local food kitchen....The Community Kitchen. Click here to learn more about them.

Time: 5pm - 8pm
