The 2024 Victoria Empty Bowls will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11 at Victoria College’s Emerging Technology Complex.
Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement that gives communities throughout the world an opportunity to support food-related charitable organizations.
Handmade ceramic bowls will cost $20 each and include soup, bread, and a drink donated by area restaurants and caterers. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent, Christ’s Kitchen, Victoria Christian Assistance Ministry, Meals on Wheels South Texas, and JP’s Market at Victoria College.
“With the community’s support, Victoria Empty Bowls has raised nearly a quarter-million dollars for local nonprofits since it began in 2004,” said Empty Bowls Team Lead Angela Weaver. “As construction begins on VC’s new Student Success Center, this will be the first time Empty Bowls is held off campus. We look forward to welcoming attendees to the new location while providing an opportunity to support the same great cause.”
Victoria College’s Emerging Technology Complex is located at 7403 Lone Tree Road. For more information, call (361) 573-3291.
