To help stop hunger in the local community, the Empty Bowls of the Mid-Ohio Valley will host its 25th Annual Luncheon. All ticket donations will benefit local food pantries. The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 1, 2025 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 304 W. Fifth St., Williamstown, West Virginia.
Guests will enjoy a variety of delicious homemade soups, bread, freshly baked cookies, and beverages. For only a $15 donation (or $10 for children 12 and under), attendees will receive lunch and a unique, handcrafted bowl made by a local student, artist, or hobbyist. A silent auction featuring food-related items will present a delightful shopping experience. Advanced tickets are available from committee member Lori Smith at las001@marietta.edu. While tickets will also be sold at the door, purchasing them in advance is encouraged.
