Empty Bowls fill pantry shelves

Thanks to the generosity of the Pocahontas County community, Empty Bowls 2021 was a big success. The Pocahontas Opera House was filled with delicious homemade soups, breads, desserts and conversation as more than a hundred people enjoyed an evening of good company and good food. The proceeds of the event go toward Family Resource Network’s Harvest House Food Pantry. 

There were plenty of beautiful handmade bowls for guests to choose from, all made by local artists. Shown here are two of the artists responsible for the bowls – Tracy Walker and Cynthia Gurreri.

Kendra Taylor and Becky Campbell organized the Empty Bowls event, decorated the Opera House, set up tables and chairs at Discovery Junction, and conducted an interesting silent auction. L.D. Bennett photo
