Empty Bowls has gone partially virtual this year; no bowls, dinner, raffle, or chance to catch up with neighbors. But, with your help, we are still supporting food organizations in the Islands (CIDER, Food for Thought, Grand Isle County Food Shelf). With the pandemic affecting all of us, many Islanders are feeling the squeeze of job loss and kids at home. Support Empty Bowls and support your neighbors who need an extra hand.

Last year, even though we did not have our traditional Empty Bowls Dinner, we were able to raise over $10,000, thanks to contributions from many generous businesses and individuals. This year your contributions will be matched up to $5,000, thanks to a generous donor!

Please help make this year's virtual "Dinner" just as successful … or more.

You can make your check out to the Congregational Church of South Hero, or CCSH, write Empty Bowls in the memo line. Send your check to: Congregational Church of South Hero PO Box 99 South Hero, VT 05486 Or, drop a check or cash off at CIDER, 110 Community Lane, South Hero, VT.

Something new this year … look for Empty Bowls at The Great Ice, (February 18).

We'll be handing out "glow sticks" by donation; wave or wear one or several to show everyone that you support Empty Bowls.

We can all help to make sure that no one in the Islands goes hungry. Please join us to fill every bowl.
