Empty Bowls

Friday night I attended the coolest charity event, in fact I never miss it. Held at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, Virginia, it's called "Empty Bowls" and benefits the hungry of Hampton Roads. The deal is that local potters make hundreds and hundreds of beautiful bowls and donate them to be set out on table after table so that you may choose one for your dinner (a bowl of soup and a piece of bread) and your cupboard as well. In the eight years the project has been going, it has raised nearly $100,000. The money is distributed to local charities including The Union Mission, The Judeo-Christian Outreach Center, The Help and Emergency Response Shelter, The Oasis Social Ministries and The Food Bank of South Western Virginia. I always leave a little hungry which is a great reminder.
