2009 Thank you to all of those who enjoyed the Damascus Help Empty Bowls Luncheon. This is a fundraiser to benefit Damascus HELP, Inc. The Empty Bowls project began when a ceramics teacher wanted a way to serve the community through art. Her students donated the unique handmade bowls and others donated soup and bread. They sold tickets for a simple lunch and donated all the money they collected to help feed the hungry in their community.
