SUMMARY:Empty Bowls
DESCRIPTION:FLAT ROCK\, N.C.   Still recovering from the aftermath of the devastating storm Helene\, local ceramic artists will once again fire up their kilns for the eighth year to help hungry children in the greater Flat Rock area.  On Sunday\, May 18\, 2025\, “Empty Bowls\,” a community meal benefiting the Flat Rock Backpack Program\, will take place in the Parish Hall at the Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness.   \nAdvance tickets are strongly recommended for the two seatings: 12:00pm-2:00pm and 4:00pm-6:00pm.  Each ticket includes one hand-crafted bowl donated by area potters\, a soup-based meal\, with soups and breads donated by local restaurants and bakers\, plus homemade cookies baked by church members.  For those wishing to eat at home\, take-away is an available option.  \nTickets are $30 per person or $50 for a family of two adults and children under 12.  Tickets are available for purchase online at www.stjohnflatrock.org/empty-bowls.\n “Hurricane Helene dealt a major blow to our area. All of our support system—the potters\, food vendors\, and sponsors—were all impacted\, as was MANNA FoodBank\, our main source of food for the Flat Rock Backpack Program\,” said Debby Staton\, Flat Rock Backpack Program Coordinator.  “Needless to say\, the students we serve were also affected. We are deeply appreciative of our community who keep us on their radar\, always willing to pitch in as we continue meeting the needs of those who are “food insecure.”\nPlease join us for this fun community event. Donations are gratefully accepted throughout the year. The Flat Rock Backpack Program has 501c-3 status. 100% of the money collected goes to feeding at least 150 children in eight schools every weekend. \nThe Parish Hall is located across the street from the church at 1905 Greenville Highway.
