Kiwanis, Lions to host Empty Bowls on March 23

Mar23

5pm - 7pm

The Kiwanis Club of Brecksville and the Lions Club of Broadview Heights host their 10th annual Empty Bowls dinner March 23 to raise money for the Brecksville Pantry and South Hills Lend a Hand food banks.

Because of COVID-19, the annual dinner will once again be a drive-through event on from 5-7 p.m. in the parking lot of the Brecksville Human Services Center, 2 Community Drive.

The takeout dinner is simple in order to emphasize the ongoing need to feed less fortunate people right in the Brecksville-Broadview Heights area. Participants will dine on three different kinds of soup, bread and a cookie. The homemade soups will be created by the Brecksville Human Services Center’s own chef, Dina Lawton.

Guests will also receive an “Empty Bowl” crafted by local artisans to remind them of the hungry people in the world.

Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased from Brecksville Kiwanian Bill Rittman at 440-725-4893, Broadview Heights Lion Kevin Krcmar at 440-590-2380 or any Kiwanis or Lions member.

Tickets are also available at the Broadview Chiropractic & Health Center,1100 W. Royalton Rd., Suite H, in Broadview Heights, and at Star Sports in Brecksville at 7032 Mill Rd., just west of state Rt. 21.

Tickets will not be sold at the pickup site since the event has been a sellout for nine consecutive years. ∞
