Empty Bowls is a grassroots fundraiser to help end hunger. In communities world-wide, a soup meal is provided for a small donation. Participates receive an empty bowl made by local potters, crafts people and volunteers as a reminder of those who are hungry. The Odessa Empty Bowls is scheduled for October 1, 2015 at Odessa High School. Visit www.emptybowls.net for more information.
