COVID can’t stop everything, thank goodness.

Back by popular demand, the Family Resource Network, in collaboration with the Pocahontas County Art Council, will host the Empty Bowls dinner again this year – and it’s shaping up to be a wonderful evening.

The fifth annual fundraiser will be held in the Pocahontas County Opera House Thursday evening, October 14, from 6 to 8 p.m.
As in years past, the meal will consist of a variety of delicious homemade soups – made by some of the best cooks in the county – accompanied by breads and desserts.

This community dinner is an excellent opportunity for friends and family to gather together for a good cause.

Of course, each diner will also leave with their choice of a unique, handmade piece of pottery – a bowl fashioned by local artists, Erik Stahl, Tracy Walker, Alison Flegel and Cynthia Guerreri.

Tickets cost $25 in advance and $30 at the door.

All proceeds from this event will benefit the Harvest House Food Pantry, a program sponsored by the Pocahontas County Family Resource Network.

Attendees are urged to observe COVID safety precautions.
