Hundreds Fill A Bowl For Manna, Help The Hungry
January 17, 2010
More than 500 people took part in Fill a Bowl for Manna Saturday to benefit the local food bank that serves clients across the area from locations that include Century and Jay.
Attendees selected a bowl to fill with soups prepared by some of Pensacola’s most popular eateries and enjoyed a silent auction of larger ceramic bowls and entertaining music.
Proceeds from the sale of the bowls as well as silent auction items were to benefit Manna, helping to 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 were 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.
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.
