GALLERY: Filling bowls for the food pantry
Staff report
More than 100 people arrived at the Charles City Arts Center on Friday night hoping for a delicious dinner.
Empty Bowls raised $1,200 from soup purchases alone, Director Jacqueline Davidson said on Monday. For a $10 donation, visitors were able to pick out one handmade bowl out of more than 100 made by six potters, and fill their bowl with homemade soup or chili.
Profits from the silent auction and accumulation sale had not yet been tallied. The profits will be split and go toward Messiahs Food Pantry in Charles City, as well as restocking the pottery room in the Arts Center with supplies for open studio.
