Please join us on November 13^th for The Laurel Center’s Empty Bowl Supper!

The Empty Bowl Supper is the largest and longest running fundraiser for The Laurel Center. This family event allows guests to experience what food insecurity feels like in our community while raising funds for The Laurel Center’s programs that support hundreds of women, men, and children whose lives have been affected by domestic and sexual violence. This year, for our 18th annual event, we have made some changes. We still have beautiful hand-thrown bowls, locally made by the Shenandoah Potter’s Guild and delicious soups from local restaurants.  However, to have a safe event for all, the 2020 Empty Bowl Supper is a walk-up and pickup only event.

The event will be held in the Schenck Foods parking lot on Valley Avenue. There are 2 ticket options:

• VIP –  $75 each and allow early-bird entry from 8 – 10 am, one handmade bowl, two pints of prepackaged soup, roll, and dessert
• Regular – $45 each includes one handmade bowl, a pint of prepackaged soup, roll, and dessert with pick up from 10 am – 4pm.
• Additional pint of soup – $6

PURCHASE TICKETS AT: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/empty-bowl-2020-tickets-116921271671

With either option, you may safely walk through the line and choose your bowl and soup while social distancing, or have your order delivered to your car (you will not be able to personally select your bowl with this option).  You can take your bowls home, heat up your soup and enjoy your meal with family and friends in the comfort of your home.

This year has been a difficult one for all.  Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, The Laurel Center was forced to cancel all of our spring fundraisers and has seen a decline in cash donations.  Funds raised at The Empty Bowl Supper 2020 are critical to helping us continue to support those who are vulnerable in our community.  We look forward to welcoming all of you to this special event!
