Dig In! Yancey Community Garden invites everyone to celebrate another abundant season of growing and sharing together at our annual Empty Bowls fundraiser. This year, we will be hosting our fundraising dinner on October 4 at the Burnsville Town Center.
Tickets
Purchase tickets to the event online or at the door. Full price tickets are $40 and come with a choice of soup, bread, dessert, and a beautiful handcrafted bowl. We want to make sure this event is for everyone, so we are also offering a kids/food-only ticket for $15.
Select from over a dozen different soups prepared by local restaurants and caterers, and a diverse array of breads and desserts donated by talent home bakers throughout the county. The bowls are made by regional artisans and are a lasting invitation to fill it with abundance: to support a vibrant local food system and practice community care.
Coming Together
We invite everyone to come connect with neighbors old and new. There will be limited seating inside the Town Center, but guests are also welcome to dine at our outside seating area at the Nu Wray Hotel. A kids activity area outside will offer games and more.
Finally, volunteers will also be hosting a community bake sale with additional breads and desserts to take home, as well as Dig In T-shirts. To donate a bread or dessert for the bake sale, please contact us at farmer@diginyancey.org.
The Empty Bowl dinner is our largest fundraiser each year. We raise money to support our programs growing and sharing so that everyone can eat well. As we enjoy the abundance of the season, we look forward to the opportunity to share a meal and celebrate the ways our community grows together.
Thank you to our sponsors.
