Empty Bowls Project To Raise Funds For Food Insecurity In East Brunswick

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — There are many families in East Brunswick and Middlesex County who are food insecure. While we may not come across many in our day-to-day lives, data from the county shows they exist in large numbers.

To raise awareness on the issue, an Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held at the public library on May 16 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The Empty Bowls project is a grassroots effort to raise awareness and funds to combat hunger. Bowls made by students from Churchill Junior High School will be on sale.

All proceeds from this event will go to Feeding Middlesex County, allowing them the ability to purchase the most needed items for REPLENISH, the county food bank.

This is the Empty Bowl Project's first event in the township. This is a global movement that encourages people to help the food-insecure locally.

The event is being sponsored by the Butterfly Effect Kindness Initiative.
