Craigardan is proud to be a partner in this Winter's Empty Bowl, Full Heart dinner in honor of Carmina Leabres Drake. The dinner has been organized by community members to honor Carmina and perpetuate the charitable concept of the traditional empty bowl dinner here in Keene. All proceeds will benefit local initiatives to fight hunger.
This winter potters are busy throwing bowls, and restaurants are preparing food to donate to the event. Participants can purchase a bowl, fill it with soup for a light meal at a participating restaurant, and take the bowl home as a reminder of those who go hungry around the world and around the corner. Bowls are available for a $15 donation, the meal is free.
Purchase your bowls in advance online now! Make a donation in advance with a credit card and choose your bowls at the Craigardan farm store or at another partner location (ask us where!). Click the button above and select “Empty Bowl, Full Heart Dinner Event”
