Annual Empty Bowls event set for April 8 at the Butte Civic Center
The annual Empty Bowls will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, at the Butte Civic Center, 1340 Harrison Ave.
The event benefits the Butte Emergency Food Bank's Backpack Program, which provides food to children from kindergarten through 12th grade who have been identified by their teachers as food insecure.
A variety of soups will be donated by local restaurants. Prices range from a $20 ticket, which will include small soup-sized bowl, mug or small vase. A $50 ticket will include a medium-sized bowl, vase, or mug/pitcher, and a $100 ticket is a family-sized bowl, large vase or platter.
By purchasing a bowl, each person receives all the soup one can eat, bread, dessert and live music. There will also be a cash bar and a silent auction of items from local artists.
Tickets are available at the Butte Food Bank, 1019 E. Second St., Butte Civic Center, 1340 Harrison Ave., and Hungry Hill, 68 W. Park St.
