elp create the miracle of empty bowls feeding hungry mouths all year long at the 18th annual Empty Bowls Project November 1. From 11 am to 4 pm, the fundraiser that benefits Dripping Springs’ Helping Hands, Inc. will fill Mercer Street with good food for a great cause. After spending its first 17 years at Sunset Canyon Pottery, this year The Empty Bowls Project is moving to a new, bigger venue at Mercer Street Dancehall. Parking will be plentiful, soup lines will be short, and other businesses along Mercer Street will be open to offer their support for the fundraiser that stocks the shelves of the Helping Hands Food Pantry. Bill and Bridget Hauser, owners of Sunset Canyon Pottery, will donate 1,000 hand-thrown pottery bowls that can be
filled with your choice of dozens of delicious soups prepared by more than 20 Dripping Springs and Austin area restaurants. Artisan breads and gourmet cookies will round out the menu. Tea, soft drinks and adult beverages will be available to purchase from Mercer Street Dancehall. In addition to enjoying wonderful food, guests get to take the beautiful handcrafted bowl they select home with them. Music from Alex Dormont, the Hill Country Ramblers, The Bonfire Choir, and Chad and Natasha Hudson will keep the dancehall lively and its dancefloor busy all afternoon. Proceeds from the day’s events help to purchase food for the Helping Hands Food Pantry and support other Helping Hands programs benefiting needy families in the community. See EMPTY BOWLS, page 2
