The collective is a local initiative where hand-made ceramic bowls are hand-painted by local students and given freely to nonprofits battling hunger.

In addition to the bowl, attendees will also be able to choose a soup of their choice, and engage in fun fall craft activities and interactive live music activities.

“We hope this event can give you a deeper understanding of the soup kitchen experience, what we do here at Lunch Break, and why your support matters,” Lunch Break officials said.

Event admission is free for kids. Adults can either bring a full bag of groceries for their ticket or give a suggested donation of $25.
