Fill A Bowl For Manna
January 13, 2010
Fill a Bowl for Manna will be held Saturday to benefit the local food bank that serves clients across the area from locations that include Century and Jay.
The public is invited to select a bowl to fill with soups prepared by some of Pensacola’s most popular eateries. In addition, you can enjoy a silent auction of larger ceramic bowls and entertaining music.
Proceeds from the sale of the bowls as well as silent auction items benefit Manna directly. While filling a bowl with sumptuous soup, you will be helping Manna fill the empty bowls of more than 30,000 people in Northwest Florida.
The more than 500 unique bowls for the event were donated by faculty and students from PJC’s Arts Department and the public who attended the companion “Throw a Bowl for Manna” event co-hosted by PJC on November 13th.
Soups for the evening will be prepared by Apple Market, Bagelheads, Classic City Catering, Dharma Blue, Fish House, Global Grill, Gus at Skopelo’s, Jackson’s, Jerry’s Cajun Cafe, Portabello Market, Scenic Hills Country Club and Seville Quarter.
Fill a Bowl for Manna will take place this Saturday, January 16 at Manna’s main pantry located at 116 E. Gonzalez Street in Pensacola from 1-3PM. Admission of $25 entitles guests to a ceramic bowl keepsake filled with soups by local eateries. Reservations are requested, but walk ins are welcome.
Manna is a non-profit organization that has been fighting hunger in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties since 1983 from pantries in Pensacola, Ensley, Century, Jay, Molino and Milton.
