Events (Archived)

We would like to thank everyone for attending the 5th Annual Empty Bowls benefit for the Community Café  on Thursday, March 3rd.

This was our biggest turnout ever!

 

Special thanks to our great sponsors, restaurants, potters who donated the bowls, musicians, florists, bakers who donated the delicious desserts, UMD Recovery program residents for set-up and to our hard working Empty Bowls planning committee! 

We especially thank Frank Stasio our emcee for the evening along with our panel of soup judges:

Congratulations to Toast for winning the Judges' Choice Award for Best Soup for their Spicy Lentil Soup with Peppers and to Watts Grocery  for winning the People's Choice Award for their Shrimp and House-made Andouille Sausage Gumbo! 

We were delighted to see the community come together in support of Empty Bowls and efforts to help the Cafe serve 500-600 meals a day.

Thanks to all our supporters that made it all possible
