Empty Bowls, a combined benefit effort joining area potters and the White Center Food Bank will take place on January 27. The potters are from the Moshier Art Center at the Burien Community Center.

Empty Bowls is a national movement to draw attention to the ongoing issue of hunger in many communities.

Each year the Moshier potters design over 1,000 bowls – during the event attendees choose a custom crafted bowl and savor delicious soups from local restaurants. In 2011 White Center Food Bank received just over $8,000 from the event.

Suggested donations are $15 per adult and $10 for children. Empty Bowls takes place at the Burien Community Center with two sessions: lunch from 11am until 2pm and dinner from 4 until 8pm. The Burien Community Center is located at 14700 Sixth Avenue SW, parking is often limited.
