EMPTY BOWLS!

I couldn’t be happier to report that Empty Bowls was a huge success this year! We raised over $2,0000!
So many members of the Bucknell and local communities came together to help us surpass our fundraising goals and beat last year’s totals! The one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls were beautiful and the soup was delicious – what more could we ask for?

For those of you who may not be familiar with Empty Bowls, it is a fundraiser that we hold once a year to benefit Community Harvest, while spreading awareness about food insecurity. Generous volunteers at the Craft Center make unique, clay bowls that we sell, along with soup, bread, crackers, and drinks. This year, we had soup/chili donations from Parkhurst, Country Cupboard, Ric-Mar Restaurant, Townside Garden Café, and Hotel Edison. We offer the meal for a few hours at lunchtime and again for dinner. Some of our dinner guests were experiencing Empty Bowls for the first time, while other "regulars" were eager to add bowls to their growing collections. 

From everyone at Commuity Harvest, we would like to send a big thank you to everyone that came together to support our program and help fight food insecurity! We couldn’t have done it without you!
