Bernie,
I'm sure that all donations would be appreciated – it’s for a very good cause.

you can find a local empty bowls by going to www.emptybowls.org and doing a search.
Empty bowls itself is a framework for organizations to use to raise money for purchasing food for the hungry.
We have started www.bowlsforhunger.org to put woodturners in touch with empty bowls events in their area and to encourage other clubs and woodturning individuals to get involved.
We would love to get photos and notes on how your club helps local food banks and organizations. Please see the blog on bowlsforhunger for more info
