Rotary’s Empty Bowls event a success
Bowls awaiting their owners. For as little as $30, participants could claim a bowl, get a cup of soup and a piece of bread to better grasp the concept of food insecurity. They were able to keep the bowl to serve as a reminder of those left empty by hunger. TED PFIRRMANN PHOTOS

Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary hosted its Empty Bowls fundraiser event April 21 at the Love Creek Elementary School outside Lewes.
Participants were given a cup of soup and a piece of bread donated by SoDel Concepts restaurants to help visualize the impact of food insecurity. They were able to choose a bowl to take home as a reminder of those bowls left empty by hunger. All donations and proceeds will go to help local organizations fight hunger.
Also present were representatives from Miriam’s Table, which has a mission is to feed children living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Marine Education Research and Rehabilitation Institute.
