Purchased bowls will be accompanied by a coupon redeemable for one cup of soup at a participating restaurant during the month of December.

For the second year, culinary students from Siuslaw High School will provide refreshments for the the fundraiser, under the direction of instructor Kyle Lewis.

The 20th Annual Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held Dec. 4, from 5 to 7:30 pm.; Dec. 5 from 10 am to 5 pm,; and Dec. 6, from noon to 3 pm at the Florence Events Center. All proceeds will benefit the Florence Food Share. Admission is free.
