Ozarks Food Harvest and Panera Bread’s Empty Bowl presents the
“Empty Bowls” event.

The event will take place Friday, November 7, 2014 and Ozarks Food Harvest and Panera Bread are looking for a minimum of 100 bowls to be donated for the event by October 1, 2014. Ozarks Food Harvest will provide an in-kind donation receipt to the artist of the bowl, as well as recognition of the artist who created the bowl. Images of the bowls donated will be displayed on their website prior to the event, and the day of the event at the Panera Bread located at National and Cherry in Springfield (where the event will be held). A story behind the creation of the bowl, or information about the artist is greatly appreciated. Also, if the artist has ever been food insecure, a testimonial from them about that experience would be an amazing element to add to the bowl.

The event is open to the public. The first 100 participants of the Empty Bowls event that make a donation to OFH, receive a bowl of soup and a baguette at Panera, then move to the Bowl Gallery to choose the “Empty Bowl” that they would like to take home with them. This bowl will serve as a reminder of the empty bowls on thousands of tables across the Ozarks.
