The public will come together on Friday, Feb. 3 to share a simple communal meal of soup and bread at the Episcopal Church at Bethesda-by-the-Sea (141 S. County Road, Palm Beach) in an effort to fight hunger at Empty Bowls Palm Beach 2017. The event is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to benefit the Palm Beach County Food Bank.
For a donation of $25, patrons will select a beautiful handmade ceramic bowl and choose from more than three dozen soups prepared and donated by some of the finest chefs and enjoy artisan breads donated by Old School Bakery.
They will take home the handmade bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls of the hungry in Palm Beach County. Takeout orders are also available on many of the soups and can be placed at www.bbts.org/serve/feeding-in-february1.
