Empty bowls 2018 coming Nov. 15



Empty Bowls will be held Thursday, November 15 at St. John’s Catholic Church in the lower level, Grand Marais.

Empty Bowls features a simple soup dinner with soup and bread provided by local restaurants and a sale of beautiful handcrafted bowls made at the Grand Marais Art Colony.

Lunch is served from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., with dinner from 5 – 7 p.m. After your soup meal, satisfy your sweet tooth with a delicious homemade treat from the bake sale.

The meal is $5.00 and handcrafted Grand Marais Art Colony bowls and necklaces are $10 (and more).

Proceeds from Empty Bowls battle hunger in Cook County by funding community hunger programs. Funds from last year’s Empty Bowls event were distributed to the Cook County Food Shelf, Birch Grove Community Center’s WE Connect, Cook County Youth Agency Coalition, Cook County Public Health and Human Services, local schools, Snacks and Packs, and the Violence Prevention Center to help nourish those in need.
