Hungry no more
One empty bowl fills another as Virginia-Highland restaurant
Murphy’s joins an annual national charity event to raise awareness about hunger for the third year in a row. The beloved dining destination is partnering with nearby
Wired & Fired for the 3rd Annual Empty Bowl Project. Now through Nov. 15, guests can visit Wired & Fired to add their artistic touch to a soup bowl at the paint-your-own-pottery studio.
Then, on Nov. 18 and 19, Atlantans will have the opportunity to purchase one of these bowls filled with a dish for $20 from a special bowl menu (such as roasted eggplant and tomato soup with spicy croutons) at a luncheon hosted at Murphy’s. At the end of the meal, all bowls will be washed and returned to the guests as a memento. All proceeds will benefit
Open Hand, an organization that provides freshly prepared, home-delivered meals along with nutrition education, counseling and therapy to thousands of men, women and children affected by chronic of critical illness. The cost of painting an unfinished soup bowl using colors, stamps and stencils is $12.
To decorate and donate a bowl for the Empty Bowl Project, visit Wired & Fired at 994 Virginia Ave. NE. 404-885-1024.
