The Open Door Empty Bowl Fundraiser is Tonight!
Tonight starting at 4:00pm is The Open Door Food Pantry’s 13th
Annual Empty Bowl fundraising dinner at Cruiseport Gloucester. This wonderful event, which has thrived under
the leadership of Executive Director Julie LaFontaine, draws nearly a thousand
people together in the hopes to collect the necessary funds to feed the
thousands who depend on The Open Door Food Pantry’s assistance.
Over a thousand bowls are hand crafted and designed by area
residents and supporters, and participants are then presented with one during
the event. Symbolically the bowls serve as
a reminder that somewhere, someone’s bowl is empty.
Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for children under ten,
and are available at the door. Extra
parking has been made available at Harbor Beach with complimentary trolley
service to and from Cruiseport Gloucester.
The dinner commences at 4:00pm and ends approximately at 8:00pm.

a past year.
