This year's Empty Bowls fundraiser benefiting Kennett Area Community Service (KACS) will be held at the Red Clay Room on Thursday, Feb. 22. The luncheon is from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the dinner from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for either one, and not only do you get a nice meal and hear about the good work of KACS, you get to take home an actual pottery bowl. I enjoyed last year's event very much and I've already purchased my ticket for this one.
KACS, based at 136 W. Cedar St. in Kennett Square, provides food for those in need through its food cupboard and runs programs to help people break out of poverty and become self-sufficient. As their vision statement puts it, "We are an organization committed to serving families and all individuals in the fight against hunger and homelessness in the Kennett area and surrounding communities. We are responsible stewards of the community, helping members of the greater Kennett community to lift themselves in dignified manner out of the cycle of poverty. We achieve this goal through both raising awareness in the community to the needs of underprivileged with few resources and working with them to identify and work towards solutions to their challenges through a network of community connections that care."
