About Empty Bowls:
For $35.00, diners chose from a menu of gourmet soups, served in a one-of-a-kind handcrafted pottery bowl that they get to keep. Bakeries donate fresh rolls, Kingston’s finest eating establishments donate the soups, artists and local businesses donate silent auction items and flowers, volunteers donate their time and The Queen’s University Club donates their beautiful facility overlooking Lake Ontario. In 2016, $23000.00 was raised.
