Floyd Empty Bowls

Want to have your soup and keep your bowl too? The annual Empty Bowls fundraising event will be held on Sunday, April 28, 2024 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Floyd County High School. Empty Bowls supports NRCA’s Floyd County Backpack Program. The Backpack Program has served Floyd County students in all five schools and NRCA Head Start this school year with over 3,800 meals provided each month to students that could likely otherwise go hungry over the weekend.
Each adult ticket holder can pick out a handmade ceramic bowl made by a local potter. All guests receive soup, bread, dessert and a drink to enjoy with live music. Ticket prices are $25 for adults, $10 for children age 6-12 (no bowl), age 5 and under are free (no bowl). Ticket are available to purchase in person at multiple sales locations in Floyd and online. Ticket sales information will be posted on the Floyd Back Program page – https://www.facebook.com/FloydBackPack/
