Empty Bowls Project raises funds for food pantries
Can an empty bowl feel a hungry person? A group of Brooklyn artists is about to find out.
The artists are teaming up to hold a unique fundraiser for food pantries in Bay Ridge and Sunset Park. The fundraiser, which will take place May 4 at the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church 6753 Fourth Ave. from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., will feature approximately 100 items for sale. But these won’t be just any old items. Visitors will be able to purchase handcrafted ceramic bowls the artists have created.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to the Community Food Pantry at the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church in Bay Ridge and the Ecumenical Neighborhood Lunch Program at Zion Lutheran Church in Sunset Park.
