The 16th Annual Empty Bowl Benefit raises funds in support of the
Calgary Food Bank by soliciting the artistic abilities of Calgary’s
local personalities! From real-life artists to your favourite news
anchor, the Empty Bowl Benefit brings the community together in a fun,
interactive auction.
The funds raised in this auction will go a long way in to providing food and snacks to Calgarians through the Food Link Program, allowing agencies to focus their resources on programming rather than resourcing food.- Start Date: Wednesday, May 04, 2016 09:00 AM MST
