The Fifth Annual Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held on Thursday, Feb. 25.

The Fifth Annual Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held on Feb. 25. Proceeds help the Kennett Area Community Center (KACS), which runs the Kennett Food Cupboard, to eliminate hunger in the community, assisting the growing number of families needing support.

The Empty Bowls event is designed to raise awareness of hunger and food insecurity in the community. A meal of soup, salad and bread is served, and attendees learn about KACS services, enjoy a silent auction. They even get to keep their soup bowl – handmade by various area youth groups – as a reminder of the families in need living in the community.

This year’s event will be held at the Red Clay Room, 423 Dalmatian St., Kennett Square, Pa. Two mealtimes are available: lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., or dinner from 6 to 8 p.m.

To purchase tickets, which are $25 each for lunch or dinner, visit http://www.kacsonline.net/empty-bowls/.
