Help the Giving Circle of HOPE raise awareness and funds for hunger relief by attending their sixth annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser on Friday, April 25, 2014. This year's event will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Floris United Methodist Church, 13600 Frying Pan Road in Herndon, VA 20171.
Empty Bowls is a community fundraiser and all proceeds raised will go to Food for Others, the largest distributor of free food to the hungry in Northern Virginia.
For a small donation, guests will receive a simple supper of soup, bread, a beverage, and dessert -- and a handmade ceramic bowl which they may keep as a reminder that there are those in our community with empty bowls.
