The second annual Empty Bowls dinner and silent auction fundraiser for the Mount Si Food Bank will be 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 10, at Mount Si High School.

Diners can enjoy a simple meal of soup and bread provided by local restaurants. The soup will be served in a handcrafted bowl that you can take home as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. Each bowl is handmade by a Snoqualmie Valley middle- or high-school art student.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit the food bank, helping neighbors who are in need.

Tickets may be purchased for a $20 donation online at www.mtsifoodbank.org. Tickets are also available at the Mount Si Food Bank at 122 East 3rd Street in North Bend on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. If you have an item to donate to the silent auction or would like more information about the event, contact the food bank at (425) 888-0096 or mtsihelpinghandfoodbank@yahoo.com.
