Editor,
The Third Annual Empty Bowl Benefit for the Vermont Foodbank was a huge success. Held at The Mud Studio in Middlesex on February 13, the benefit raised $5500, which translates into 16,500 meals for our neighbors in need.

A true community affair, benefits like ours are crucial in helping the Foodbank ease the food insecurity faced by one quarter of Vermonters.

We would like to give a special thank you to Michael Sullivan, owner of The Mud Studio, for his generosity, to the dozens of central Vermont potters who made and donated more than 350 bowls for the benefit, and to the following businesses which provided the food, advertising, and all manner of support to this worthy cause: Capitol Copy, Christ Church, Cold Hollow Cider Mill, Dog River Farm, Misty Knoll Farms, North Branch Tea and Wine Café, Noyle W. Johnson Insurance Company, Pete’s Greens, Red Hen Baking Company, Regal Floral Design, The Times Argus, Willow Moon Farm, and The World Newspaper.

Thank you all for your support!
Bonnie Seideman
Organizer, Empty Bowl Benefit
