Empty Bowls Railyn and Maleigha
Empty Bowls was a combine effort between the Manna Pantry, our local food bank; The Space, which is the creative arts center in town; and Wray FCCLA Chapter members. Bowls were painted at The Space and sponsorships were sold around town to make the event a success. Wray FCCLA members helped to sell tickets and volunteered to make the event successful. Community members donated their cooking expertise to provide the soup for the event. Together, we raised $11,000 that was donated to the Manna Pantry to directly impact our community!
