Empty Bowls raises over $13,000 for Montreal's hungry

Again this year, the Unitarian Church of Montreal  joined forces with Congregation Dorshei Emet to make Empty Bowls — a project to raise money for the hungry — a great success.  On April 18, $6,500 was raised at the Unitarian Church by people who bought a hand-crafted bowl, enjoyed some soup and bread and listened to some great jazz. The following weekend, Empty Bowls raised more than $7,000 at Congregation Dorshei Emet. All the money is pooled to help the six Montreal beneficiaries that help the hungry.

Empty Bowls is a hunger-fighting fundraiser, bringing people together for a simple but nourishing meal of soup, bread and fruit.

Soup is served in a hand-made bowl donated by a Quebec potter, which is yours to keep. Again this year, the event is a collaboration between the Congregation Dorshei Emet and the Unitarian Church of Montreal.

Les bols du partage, événement destiné à recueillir des fonds pour combattre la faim, rassemble les gens de cœur pour un repas simple et nourrissant : soupe, pain et fruits.

La soupe est servie dans un bol que vous choisissez et conservez et qui est la création originale d’un céramiste du Québec. Encore cette année, cet événement est le fruit de la collaboration entre la Congrégation Dorshei Emet et l’Église unitarienne de Montréal.
