HARTFORD — The Rural Community Action Ministry will hold its first Empty Bowls Supper from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Hartford Town Hall, 1196 Main St.

For more than 20 years, people nationwide have been participating in Empty Bowl Suppers. At these suppers, guests select and take home a beautiful handmade bowl crafted by local artists and enjoy a supper of soup, salad, bread and dessert. Some of the bowls at RCAM’s Supper have been crafted by students at Buckfield Junior-Senior High School, Maranacook High School and Leavitt Area High School. Others were crafted by local potters and individuals attending pottery parties organized by The Mudroom Pottery Studio in Auburn and donated to RCAM for the dinner.

The cost for the Supper is $10 for adults, $5 for children younger than 12, or $25 per family of five. The first 50 people will take home a handmade pottery soup bowl (limit two per family).

There will also be a silent auction of pottery bowls of various sizes and designs.

November is Hunger Awareness month, and the proceeds from this dinner will be used to support RCAM’s hunger prevention services, which include active involvement with four hunger coalitions addressing local food insecurity. The coalitions include members of the 13 communities served by RCAM.

The public is invited to attend.
