No More Empty Bowls

The purpose of the Community Partners for Hope Empty Bowls Project, an international movement, is to raise funds for local food charities and educate people around issues of poverty and hunger in their communities. A special Empty Bowls dinner will be held on November 5 in Friendship Hall at the First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains where, for a donation, guests will gather and eat a simple meal of soup and bread, then choose a ceramic bowl to bring home as a keepsake and reminder of the hunger that exists. Guests will sit together, eat their meals and learn about how their donations will help to fill the truly empty bowls of people less fortunate around town. Proceeds from this year’s event will go to the Pequannock Food Pantry and Grains of Hope. Please sign up at emptybowls23.eventbrite.com.
