Tempe will host its annual Empty Bowls fundraiser Friday and Saturday for the United Food Bank and Tempe Community Action Agency.
Participants donate $10 for a bowl handcrafted by a ceramics artist or student, and receive a simple meal of soup and bread provided by Whole Foods Market Tempe.
The meal represents the caloric intake that must sustain many people around the world for an entire day.
Empty Bowls will be held 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday at Sixth Street Park (northeast corner of Mill and Sixth) and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the Tempe Public Library (southwest corner of Rural and Southern).
Musical entertainment will be provided by Walt Richardson on Friday and Randy Olson and friends on Saturday.
