Hopewell United Methodist Church Hosting “Empty Bowls” Dinner to Benefit TASK

by Mary Galioto

Recognizing that hunger and homelessness are issues that are experienced in our immediate community, the Hopewell United Methodist Church will be hosting a fundraising “Empty Bowls” dinner to benefit Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) on Sunday, January 10 at 4 p.m.- 6 p.m. (snow date: January 17) at the Hopewell United Methodist Church at 20 Blackwell Avenue, Hopewell Borough.

The event will feature a simple supper of soup, bread, and dessert, with a representative from TASK speaking about how the community can help and learn about local hunger and food insecurity.

The event costs $15 per person for the simple supper. Local chefs from Hopewell restaurants and businesses – Brothers Moon, Sweetgrass, Brick Farm Market and Pennington Market are contributing soups and breads.

Also, ceramic bowls from local (famous and non-famous) artists and artisans will be available for purchase.

All proceeds from the event and bowl sales will benefit Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK).
