Countdown to Empty Bowls

The Giving Circle of HOPE will host its fourth annual Empty Bowls fundraiser for hunger relief on Friday, April 29, from 5:30 to 8:00 PM. Planning began months ago and now we're down to the final countdown (easy to remember since it's the same day as the Royal Wedding!). 

Tickets will sell out again this year, so buy them soon: simply send a check ($20 minimum donation per ticket), made out to Food for Others, to Giving Circle of HOPE, P.O. Box 8832, Reston, VA 20195, and they will be waiting for you at the door.

Your ticket entitles you to choose a beautiful, handcrafted bowl made by local potters and enjoy a simple supper of soup, bread, beverage, and dessert donated by the area's best restaurants and bakeries. We appreciate their generosity! 

Food for Others is the largest distributor of food to the needy in Northern Virginia. This event typically raises approximately $20,000 and every penny is important as more and more people need help in this economy.

Our cookbook, Soups From the Village, will be on sale at the event for $10. For more information, visit www.givingcircleofhope.org.

See you in 21 days!
