Empty Bowls Mt.Dora!
Empty Bowls is an event dedicated to alleviating hunger in our Mount Dora community. In partnership with Yada Yada Pottery, our community created a beautiful collection of handcrafted bowls. These bowls were filled with delicious soup from local restaurants, enjoyed by our guests while listening to live music and browsing a silent auction featuring items generously donated by local artists and businesses. Everyone took home their bowls as mementos of the day.
Best of all, every penny spent on this event goes directly to support Lake Cares Food Pantry, making our time together even more meaningful.

From artists and restaurants to volunteers and guests, every piece of this event adds up to something bigger than any one of us.
