Empty Bowls under way with soup, bread, hand-painted bowls, to benefit Clarksville food programs | PHOTOS

CLARKSVILLE, TN – The 16th annual Empty Bowls, supporting Loaves & Fishes, Urban Ministries and Manna Cafe, is under way this week in Clarksville.

Thirteen local churches and organizations are offering lunch or dinner events. The public is invited to attend any of the locations and enjoy a tasty meal of homecooked soup, along with bread and dessert — and take home a hand-painted bowl. Each location will offer a variety of delicious soups, including vegetarian options. People have participated in bowl painting parties throughout the community to create one-of-a-kind pieces for guests to enjoy.

For only $15 you can help provide hot meals and food boxes to thousands in our community who struggle with putting food on their tables. Upcoming lunch and dinner days are Thursday Feb. 22, Saturday Feb. 24, and Tuesday Feb. 27. They will be serving from 11-1 p.m. and 4:30-7 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased online at emptybowlsclarksville.com/tickets or at any participating meal site.
