Empty Bowls has been a fundraiser at Messalonskee High School, in Oakland, for the past several years. The purpose of this project is to raise money for local food pantries. It’s also about raising awareness about some of our community members who are struggling to provide food for their families.
Students and faculty members of Messalonskee High School, under the direction of ceramics teacher Sherrie Damon, have been crafting ceramic bowls to be sold as part of the dinner. The menu for the evening consists of homemade soups, salad, Panera Bread and desserts. The pottery bowls will be on display for diners to choose and take home with them as a reminder of the event and what it represents.
This year’s Empty Bowls dinner will be on Friday, March 10, from 5 to 7 p.m., in the high school cafeteria.
Cost is $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. This year we have added theme baskets to be raffled.
Diners can complete the evening by attending Much Ado About Nothing, performed by the Messalonskee High School Players. Cost is $8 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. Purchase tickets at the door.
