10th Annual VBHS Empty Bowls 2019

For the ticket price, guests are invited to pick out a handmade ceramic bowl (made by VBHS students and other guest artists) and partake in a symbolic dinner of soup and bread from their special bowl. After dinner, the bowl will be washed so that it may be taken home as a reminder of the “empty bowls” throughout our community and the world. Money raised from ticket sales will be donated to the “Meals for Kids” Backpack program throughout the River Valley through the Community Services Clearinghouse. Empty Bowls is an international effort to raise awareness and funds for food insecurity. In our community, this is a great way to support young people helping other young people through art, charity, food, and community!
Tickets are $15/adult and $7/child. Advanced ticket sales locations TBA!
New this year: Our soup will be made by the brand new Pointer Place Cafe.

Run for a Veteran 5K
2019-02-06 00:00 UTC
We are preparing for our 5th Annual Run for a Vet 5K/1M Race. It will be April 13th, 2019 at 11:00 AM in Lee Creek Park in Van Buren, AR 72956. This year we will be doing a custom medal that is larger than any we have had in the past. We moved the race to the second week of April so that members of the National Guard won’t be on drill that weekend. We hope to see all the usual faces and many new ones. This has been and will be a great event with the proceeds going to help Veterans and our great community.
