Northlanders were given the chance to bring something to the table in an effort to feed the hungry.

Students and artists donated hundreds of hand–crafted bowls to the 22nd Annual Empty Bowl fundraiser.

Locals were invited to purchase a one–of–a–kind bowl, listen to live music, and enjoy free soup and bread.

“The community loves this event,” said Shaye Moris, the Executive Director of Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank. “It’s a great gathering spot, it requires volunteers, artists, all kinds of community members to make it happen, and I think it’s just one of those events that the region just loves.”

“Certainly region–wide we’ve seen use at our area food shelves increase pretty intensely in the last 5 to 7 years, so I think it’s important that people come out and support hunger relief efforts,” Moris added.

One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank.
