North Dakota Empty Bowls Fundraiser, Saturday
Stop by the show on Saturday and have lunch for a good cause. This year, the North Dakota Empty Bowls Project fundraiser will be held at the Ramada Grand Dakota Lodge from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Local artisans contribute their time and talent to create ceramic bowls for the Empty Bowls fundraising event.
Robin Reynolds, DSU ceramics instructor, organizes Empty Bowls each year. Last year, the event raised more than $4,000 for local food pantries. For the event, local artisians contributed their time and resources to create one-of-a-kind, handcrafted ceramic bowls for the event. Special thanks for Sponsor bowls: Julie Schuster, Sarah Snavely, Caitlin Freidt, and Tod Winter.
Cost is $15 per bowl, limit two bowls per person. Soup and bread is provided.
Every year, approximately 2.3 to 3.5 million people in America experience hunger and homelessness. Empty Bowls Project is a national fundraising event to bring awareness to hunger in America. Proceeds of the North Dakota Empty Bowls go to food programs such as the Back Pack Program and Domestic Rape and Crisis Center. Sponsors for the ND Empty Bowls are Dickinson State University, Ramada Grand Dakota Hotel, United Way of Dickinson and Sacred Heart Monastery.
Michael Dunn, North Dakota artist, teaches a Saturday workshop.
