Applewood Empty Bowls 2024
Residents of The Loomis Communities’ Applewood in Amherst recently came together to support the annual Empty Bowls event, a community gathering with a powerful purpose. The event combines food, art, and music to raise funds for local Food and Nutrition Programs that serve more than 11,500 people each year.
A Meal with Meaning
Applewood residents enjoyed:
- Hearty Soups: Delicious recipes from favorite local restaurants, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
- Handmade Bowls: Beautiful, one-of-a-kind bowls donated by local artists, each a lasting reminder of the event’s mission.
- Community Spirit: Live music, conversations with local celebrity hosts, and the joy of supporting a meaningful cause together.
Giving Back Through Community
By attending the Empty Bowls event, Applewood residents not only shared a meal but also helped fight hunger in Western Massachusetts. Every ticket and every donation makes a direct impact on families and individuals in need, ensuring no one has to face an empty bowl.
At The Loomis Communities, events like these reflect the values of connection, compassion, and community engagement that make Applewood such a vibrant place to live.
