at Renaissance on 9th

Friday, October 17th 2008

Main Street, Lakewood Ranch

 This year, the "Empty Bowls" Luncheons raised over $13,000 to help feed children and families right here in Manatee County.

Over 700 Guests showed their support to “help change the face of hunger” by purchasing beautiful bowls donated by the ArtCenter Manatee, local potters, and the Potters Wheel Club of Sun City Center.   Guests participated in a meal of warm delicious soup donated by local restaurants and bread and water, all reminders of all the empty bowls in our county.

All proceeds benefited

The Food Bank of Manatee 

 

 

Thank you to all the restaurants who generously donated soup!
