SOUP in a BOWL
WATER and a ROLL
Join us in helping fight hunger in
the Twin Counties!
This March, the Arts Council is proud to sponsor Empty Bowls events in Hillsville,
Galax & Independence. These events would not be possible without our partners:
the Chestnut Creek School of the Arts, Old Town Pottery, Carroll County High School
Interact Club, the Ministerial Associations of Carroll & Grayson Counties, First Inde-
pendence United Methodist Church, First Methodist Church of Hillsville, First Baptist
Church of Galax, Shoney’s Restaurant and area potters, restaurants and individuals.
Empty Bowls is grassroots effort to fight hunger. The basic premise is simple:
Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to
create hand crafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In
exchange for a $10 donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all
the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to local organizations
working to end hunger and food insecurity.
This year the City Councils of Galax & Hillsville and the Carroll County Board of
Supervisors have proclaimed March 24th and March 30th to be EMPTY BOWLS DAY
in their respective communities.
Please join us at one of the Empty Bowls events in your town!
