For the Rapids City Times

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – The seventh annual South Wood County (SWC) Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held March 2.

Empty Bowls raises money to support local organizations that provide hunger relief to citizens of South Wood County such as SWEPS, The Neighborhood Table, The Family Center Food Pantry, Community Garden, and the weekend backpack food programs in Wisconsin Rapids and Nekoosa.

Attendees will receive a light meal of soup, with several choices, and the fixings. In addition, you choose a bowl to take home from a local potter or pottery student. Raffles and take-out meals are also available.

The event takes place March 2, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., at First English Lutheran Church, 440 Garfield St., Wisconsin Rapids.
