Join Our Neighbors' Place for our 3rd Annual Empty Bowls event to fund ONP's food insecurity programs: The Backpack Program and the Day Center. This heart warming event is a chance to sample soups from many different local restaruants and vote for your favorite. Together we will enjoy delicious food and support those in need.
By purchasing an adult ticket you'll be able to choose a bowl to remind you of those experiencing hunger in our community and support Our Neighbors' Place, who helps those in need through the Backpack Program in the River Falls School District and The Day Center.
New this year! Bring a little cash with you to participate in the Bowlful of Blessings Raffle, available the day of the event for $20 for 5 raffle tickets or $5 for 1. Once purchased, write your name and number on t he ticket stub and drop into your choice of basket drop box. Stay to hear your name announced at 6:15!
Get your tickets in advance - through this site or stop at the Day Center at 122 W Johnson Street - adult tickets start at $25. Tickets at the door will be $35. On the evening of the event, please check in at the table in the lobby of St Bridget's, there you will recieve a tray, information on the program for the evening and a soup voting form. The tray has plenty of room to collect on of each of the sample cups of soups, dessert and drinks. If an adult ticket was purchased, you will also recieve a ticket to the bowl room.
Together, we can make a difference in our local community and feed the hungry. See you there!
