The Hiddenite Center will serve as the host location for an Empty Bowl painting party as part of a community wide effort to support the Northwest NC Second Harvest Food Bank. Volunteer painters are invited to attend the painting party to help create colorful designs and creative patterns on bisque-fired clay bowls. All materials, including bowls and glazes, will be provided. Volunteers only need to bring their caring hearts and willing hands; prior experience is not necessary in order to contribute to this fun and worthwhile community effort.

This is a floating event and volunteers are asked to spend at least one-hour painting bowls for the cause. The Hiddenite Center welcomes volunteers in ages ranging from middle school students through senior adults to attend the painting party and enjoy a fun and creative activity with a worthy purpose.

Each painted bowl created during the painting party at The Hiddenite Center will be sold during the 2015 Empty Bowls fundraiser for the Second Harvest Food Bank, which will be held in Winton-Salem. Proceeds from the fundraiser will help to fill the shelves of local food pantries across Northwest NC. This event raises awareness for the needs of others and raises funds to help continue to support neighbors in need. The Northwest NC Second Harvest Food Bank partners with more than 400 food assistance programs, serving local communities in 18 counties including Alexander County.
