Empty Bowls
Altrusa Gig Harbor held the annual Empty Bowls event on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at the Chapel Hill Church. 30 local potters donated over 700 handmade bowls to be sold. Eight Gig Harbor restaurants donated soup to serve to those attending. The Peninsula Youth Orchestra provided live music. In addition, we appreciated volunteer help from the local Junior ROTC, the Gig Harbor Rotary Club, and the Gig Harbor Kiwanis Club. Thanks to the generous support of our community, the Gig Harbor Altrusa Foundation has $30,000 to grant to organizations in our community who feed hungry children and families. Our club members all contributed in multiple ways to making Empty Bowls 2023 a great success!
