The Empty Bowls movement serves to both feed the hungry and raise public awareness of the issue of food insecurity, and Hermitage will be taking part by hosting an event this spring.
Mercer County Food Bank will be the beneficiary of the Empty Bowls fundraiser set to take place at the Hickory VFW Post 6166. It will run for four hours, and will showcase the talents of both local crafters and chefs.
The public that would like to support the activity are invited to drop by for a simple supper of bread and soup or stew, and they will be able to keep the bowl as a reminder to try and do a good turn for others whenever they can. A silent auction, raffle basket draw, cash bar, and live entertainment are also all in the works for the occasion.
Food insecurity is a subject that may be faced by many communities, and creative fundraising can go a long way towards addressing the issue. A banner printing company can offer an assortment of products and services that may be helpful to event planners.
This evening of food, friends, and fun in support of the Mercer County Food Bank will kick off at 4:00 pm on April 25. The food bank’s website provides details for any business interested in supporting the occasion.
