Potters Prepare 'Empty Bowls' to Fight Hunger

Empty Bowls, a community event designed to help fight hunger by raising funds for local food pantries, will take place April 22 from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. in downtown La Grange.

Volunteer potters from throughout the area have been converging at Terra Incognito Studios & Gallery, 35 S La Grange Rd, where they are making hundreds of clay bowls in preparation for the event.

Anyone who purchases a bowl ($20 for adults, $15 for children) can take it to any or all of 19 participating restaurants and food retailers during the three-hour event and have it filled with soup, pasta, and desserts and other fare.

The money raised will be donated to food pantries at St. Cletus Church, Second Baptist Church and St. Francis Xavier Church.

Watch the video to learn more about the event from Terra Incognito owner David Toan, and see the potters at work.
