The Good Samaritan Ministries’ Empty Bowls Project will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 24 at the Brownwood Coliseum.
For a $10 donation, diners can choose a hand-painted ceramic bowl and enjoy a simple meal of soup and water. At the end of the meal, take the empty bowl home to serve as a reminder of those who have empty bowls and empty stomachs. All soup is provided by local restaurants and the bowls have been painted by many different groups in the community.
