AUBURN, Ala.- Join us for the 12th-annual Auburn-Opelika Empty Bowls event on Friday, March 21, at the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center in Auburn. The event runs from 5:30-7:30 pm.

Tickets can be purchased at foodbankofeastalabama.com under the events tab. Tickets are $20 each, and all proceeds will benefit the Food Bank of East Alabama.

Empty Bowls is a heartwarming fundraiser aimed at raising awareness about food insecurity in our community. Attendees will select a handmade bowl crafted by local artists at the Jan Dempsey and Denson Drive Ceramic’s Studios. This year’s event will include a ceramics art exhibition and hot soups and breads donated by local businesses. The selected bowl is then yours to keep as a symbol of those who face hunger every day.

Enjoy live music and explore additional ceramic wares and gift baskets available for purchase. Tickets are limited, so secure yours today.

For more information or to contribute items for gift baskets or the soup dinner, please contact Art Education Specialist Emillie Dombrowski at 334-501-2944 or edombrowski@auburnalabama.org.
