Have you already heard about Empty Bowls? Empty Bowls is an event held in communities all over the world to raise awareness about hunger and food insecurity.
The idea is simple. Local potters, from the Kawartha Potters' Guild create unique, handmade bowls which they donate to the event. Guests purchase a ticket to the event for $25 which includes not only their choice of a beautiful hand-crafted bowl but also a wonderful lunch of salads and breads donated by local chefs and restaurants.
On June 21, 2013, YWCA Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton will hold its annual Empty Bowls event from 11:30 - 1 pm in the Atrium at Princess Gardens, located at 100 Charlotte Street, Peterborough. Proceeds from Empty Bowls will directly support YWCA Food Action programs, JustFood and Community Gardens, which help women and their families in the City and County of Peterborough eat well and create new and meaningful connections within their communities.
To guarantee your spot, tickets can be purchased in advance at YWCA (216 Simcoe St., Monday-Thursday 9am-4:30pm), at MNR, Robinson Place (Corner of Charlotte and Water Streets., Tuesday and Wednesday 10am-3pm), or at the Kawartha Potters’ Guild (993 Tallwood Drive).
