A simple meal of soup and bread paired with an empty take-home pottery bowl serve as a reminder the historical food offering at “soup kitchens” and the numerous unfilled bowls of people facing food insecurity today. Guest can enjoy four varieties of soup, bread, and dessert and select a handcrafted  pottery bowl to take home from the event.

To be held at the Genetti Hotel and Suites Williamsport on Friday, February 28, 2014, the Mardi Gras-themed event also includes live entertainment and a raffle and silent auction. Limited edition commemorative Central Pennsylvania Food Bank bowls, designed and crafted by a different local artist each year, will be available for purchase or pick up, if ordered in advanced.

Commemorative bowls and discounted advanced tickets and can be purchased here online or by calling the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank Williamsport office. If not sold out, tickets may also be purchased at the door on the day of the event.
