Empty Bowls Huntsville
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Flying Monkey Arts Theatre at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment Saturday night for The Third Annual Empty Bowls Huntsville. This year featured soups from Happy Tummy and Chef Will The Palate
What is Empty Bowls? Every year, potters from all over the state donate handmade bowls; during the event, the public pays $15 and receives a handmade bowl, soup and a drink. The proceeds are donated to First Stop, Inc., a local organization that helps pave the way from homelessness to independent and sustainable living. In 2017, we raised $3,100; last year we raised $3,800! The event is over until next year, but you can still click the big yellow button above if you would like to make an additional donation to help us reach our goal of $5000! |
