Auburn, WALocal News

The Auburn Food Bank is excited to announce its annual Empty Bowls fundraiser on April 25, taking place from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. at Grace Community Church.

This event is a vital opportunity for the community to come together and support families in need through a suggested donation of $20. Attendees will have the chance to select a handcrafted bowl made by local artists, along with enjoying a gourmet serving of soup. The funds raised will directly benefit the Auburn Food Bank, which is dedicated to fighting hunger in South King County. Each bowl serves as a poignant reminder of the empty bowls that many households face due to food insecurity. Organizers encourage everyone to bring friends, family, and coworkers, emphasizing that no reservations are needed.
