Empty Bowls Fundraiser for Hands Across Mathews

The Bay School and Hands Across Mathews will host our annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser on Sunday, December 13 from 11:00 AM-1:30 PM. 

An incredible assortment of handmade soups, breads, and cookies will be served during the event. For a $20 donation, individuals will receive a hand-crafted bowl to be treasured or given as a gift and a simple lunch of soup, bread, and cookies. Community potters and members of the Clay by the Bay Ceramics Guild are creating the bowls from which to choose, and volunteers are cooking crock pots of soup of many different varieties, homemade breads, and too many cookies to count!

Every year since its inception in 2014, The Empty Bowls Fundraiser has raised more funds for Hands Across Mathews. Come out and make this year's event an even bigger success!

This year we are partnering with The Hatchery to offer a new opportunity to participate - Paint-Your-Own Empty Bowl! Click here to learn more and sign up.

Thanks to the support of Martin, Ingles, & Hensley, LTD, who have sponsored the event to underwrite all Bay School expenses, all proceeds will go directly to Hands Across Mathews. The mission of Hands Across Mathews is to help local families who have suffered some crisis that puts them in need of the basic amenities of food, clothing, shelter, prescription medications, or fuel. When all other avenues of support have been exhausted, Hands Across Mathews helps them get back on their feet. The organization combines the efforts of 35 churches in the area to provide non-denominational charitable aid to families, which have been evaluated and approved by the Mathews County Social Services Department. More than 100 families are currently being served each week. For more information about Hands Across Mathews, please visit their website.
