Annual Empty Bowls Benefit

Silent auction items are being collected for the upcoming Sixth Annual Empty Bowls Benefit – Leave No Child Hungry in Morgan County. Sharon Abdelaal, left, and Hannah Stewart, right, of Morgan County Starting Points, display some of the donated items, including quilted items, framed prints, and books. These items, along with other artisan items, holiday centerpieces, gift baskets, and gift certificates, will be available during the silent auction portion of the Empty Bowls Benefit on November 16 from 4:30-7 p.m. at Berkeley Springs High School. Participants will have homemade soups, rolls and drinks along with handmade bowls donated by local artisans. Collection boxes for non-perishable food items and used cell phones will also be available. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Morgan County Starting Points Meal Time Community Kitchen and the Morgan County Unit of the Boys & Girls Club of the Eastern Panhandle.
