CNSI is proud to be the sole Presenting Sponsor for this year’s Capital Area Food Bank Empty Bowls Event being held in Bethesda on Monday, October 31st. Local pottery artists, restaurants, businesses and the public will gather at the Capital Area Food Bank’s four Empty Bowls lunches this fall. At each lunch, about 300 guests will taste unlimited soups from local restaurants, and choose a handcrafted bowl to take home. Every $35 ticket provides 87 meals to neighbors who need our help. Last year, the Capital Area Food Bank provided 44 million pounds of food to children, seniors and families in the Washington metro area—one third of which was fruits and vegetables—through 444 food assistance partner non-profits. Tickets are available for purchase online or limited walk-in registration. For more information about the event, please visit www.capitalareafoodbank.org/empty-bowls
