The Empty Bowl Full Heart Dinner is a community dinner. There will be soup, bread, and cookies for all. You can give a donation or buy a bowl or just come and enjoy a light meal and conversation with your neighbors. All donations will go toward supporting local initiatives to fight hunger and carrying the event forward. Past donations have supported the Keene, Lake Placid, and Wilmington / Jay Food Pantries, Families First, and Craigardan’s Free Food Fridge. The dinner was started to honor Carmina Leabres Drake, remembering her loving contributions to the community.
Handmade bowls are made and donated by area potters. Soup is donated by local restaurants.
If you are unable to attend the event of February 14th, please make an online donation below to support the cause.
Bowls will also be available by donation in select locations including the Craigardan Farm Store — more information coming soon.
Craigardan is proud to partner in this Winter's Empty Bowl, Full Heart dinner in honor of Carmina Leabres Drake. The dinner has been organized by community members to honor Carmina and perpetuate the charitable concept of the traditional empty bowl dinner here in Keene. All proceeds will benefit local initiatives to fight hunger.
