Every year the Gettysburg Community comes together to share a communal meal made possible by local artists, restaurants, bakeries, musicians, and other small businesses–all with the aim of raising both awareness and funds to combat food insecurity within our community.
This year was the 10th anniversary of the Empty Bowls event and it was the most successful event to date.
Over 400 guests attended and over $15,000 was raised for The Gleaning Project of South Central PA.
Guests enjoyed a meal of soup, bread, beverage, and dessert, served in a handcrafted bowl, which they could then take home as a reminder of those whose bowls remain empty. There was live music by Chuck Darwin & the Knuckledraggers.
Thanks to everyone who supported Empty Bowls and the Gleaning Project.
