Empty Bowls Filled for CFP

Thank you to the 200 guests that turned out to support the 16th Empty Bowls Luncheon on Saturday, April 20. Christ Episcopal Church welcomed the event with open arms and capable hands, courtesy of Mike Paige.

Thank you to the Smithy Clay Studio and many of its potters for creating the beautiful hand thrown soup bowls. Special thanks to Ann, Peter, Eileen and Donna.

Many individuals and restaurants provided the delicious soups and breads. Thirty volunteers ensured that the day ran smoothly. Our deepest thanks to all who helped make this event such a tremendous success, including soup makers Council Rock Brewery, Doubleday Café, Mel’s at 22, Origins Café, Upstate Bar and Grill, and Keith, Jay, Kitty, and Amanda, and our bread bakers, Maureen, Sandy, Susan, and Maryann. A special thank you to Cooperstown Central School Room 309 for baking corn muffins.

The list of selfless individuals who donated their time and talents is lengthy and includes many of your friends and neighbors. Together, we generated over $5,000.00 for the Cooperstown Food Pantry. We look forward to a day when there are no more “empty bowls.”
