OAKLAND — The Empty Bowls dinner will be 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, March 9, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. Empty Bowls has been a fundraiser at Messalonskee High School for the past several years.
The purpose of the project is to raise money for local food pantries.
It’s also about raising awareness about community members struggling to provide food for their families.
Students and faculty members of Messalonskee High School, under the direction of ceramics teacher Sherrie Damon, have been crafting ceramic bowls to be sold as part of the dinner.
The menu for the evening consists of homemade soups, salad, Panera Bread breads and desserts. The pottery bowls will be on display for diners to choose and take home with them as a reminder of the event and what it represents.
Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. This year, theme baskets will be added to be raffled off during the event. Diners can complete the evening by attending “Almost Maine,” performed by the Messalonskee High School Players. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. Purchase tickets at the door.
