Empty Bowls is an internationally recognized event that raises awareness of hunger and hunger-related issues.  Participants keep their handcrafted bowl as a reminder of the millions of bowls that remain empty each day around the world. Locally, funds raised from the event support FISH, (Families and Individuals Sharing Hope). It will be a free will offering and attendees will receive a beautifully handcrafted bowl made by local students in SCOTT COUNTY as well as lunch consisting of soup or chili, bread, refreshments, and dessert.  Attendees will enjoy a relaxed dining experience and the music of local choirs and bands.
