Caroline, Grammy, and I really enjoyed attending the 3rd annual Shepherd's Staff Empty Bowl Soup Meal on Sunday, March 31, 2019 at St. John's Portico. The place was packed. We saw lots of good friends and really enjoyed the soup. That said, I usually enjoy any event in which food is served and Caroline and I are real soup hounds. And we helped raise money for a good cause.
The ticket price included soup, bread, water and a take-home ceramic bowl as a reminder of those whose bowls remain empty.
At Empty Bowls we had a delicious sampling of soups provided and served by some of the area's best restaurants – and many of our favorite restaurants including Bud's at Silver Run, Buttersburg Inn, The Food Chick, Forbidden City, Giulianova's, Greenmount Station, Maggie's, Mediterraneo, Mollie's Cafe, O'Lordan's, Oscar's Alehouse, and Rare Opportunity Bakehouse.
The Empty Bowls event was created to bring awareness to hunger of all types, foster community, and raise funds to support those in need.
