As a support website for New Bern, we’re excited to share our thoughts on the Empty Bowls event, a partnership between Religious Community Services and Craven Arts Council and Gallery. This uplifting event unites businesses, religious and civic groups, professional and amateur potters, restaurants, and others, as we use our collective creative energies to make a difference in the lives of others.
The event, which raises money for local stop-hunger and arts programming in Craven County, is a great way for the community to come together and make a difference. By selling tickets for Empty Bowls, the organizers are able to raise funds and awareness for important causes in the area.
Upon purchasing a ticket, you are able to choose one handcrafted bowl or home good from hundreds donated by local potters. This not only supports local artists but also gives you a one-of-a-kind piece to take home. In addition, you’ll receive two bowls of soup donated by local restaurants, community groups, and more. This not only allows you to sample a variety of delicious soups but also supports local businesses and organizations.
The great feeling of knowing you helped better your community with your purchase is something that cannot be measured. The impact of this event goes beyond just raising funds, as it brings together people from all walks of life to work towards a common goal. Whether you’re a professional potter or a member of a local business, everyone can play a part in making a positive difference in the lives of others.
With so many great reasons to attend Empty Bowls, it’s no wonder that the event has become a beloved tradition in New Bern. In fact, it has garnered attention from various media outlets, including Yahoo! News [3], and has been featured on various event websites like VisitNewBern.com [4] and RCSNewBern.com [2].
As a support website for New Bern, we highly recommend attending Empty Bowls. Not only does it support important causes in the community, but it also brings people together for a fun and meaningful event. We can’t wait to see you there!
