We’re feeling so appreciative for our entire community, which stepped up to benefit local community meals and food programs at our annual Empty Bowls event on Friday, October 24th. Special thanks to our servers, helpers, and cooks! And to the local businesses and individuals who donated soup, bread, and bowls.

We also had multiple photographers onsite. Check out the full photo sets from Peace House Board Member Allen Hallmark as well as volunteer Helga Motley:
