Saturday, make sure the bowl is empty before you purchase it.

The Emergency Food Network never takes a day off. They can't while there are mouths to feed.
The Lakewood-based organization offers food and other essentials - at no cost - to 67 food banks, hot meal sites and shelters for distribution to low-income families and individuals. The organization is so awesome the Weekly Volcano named it the Best Area Nonprofit in its 2008 Best of Tacoma issue.
To raise money for its missions, EFN hosts the annual Empty Bowls event, which will be held Saturday at Charles Wright Academy's gymnasium. The fundraising event combines art, community, giving and fine eats.
Local and regional artisans have donated more than 1,000 one-of-a-kind bowls made from hand-tooled carved wood, colorful glass and hand-thrown clay.
Bowls begin at $10. They make awesome gifts.
This event is very popular; a line forms way before the 1 p.m. opening.
Tasty soup and hearty breads from Infinite Soups, Adriatic Grill, Asado, The Swiss, Pacific Grill, Chambers Bay and PLU Catering accompany purchases.
Traditionally a one-day event, this year's Empty Bowls will add the three-dimensional "Vessels" art show focusing on works from regional artists, which will be judged and auctioned tonight at Charles Wright Academy in the Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $25 and light hors d'ouevres will be served.

[Charles Wright Academy, Saturday, Nov. 19, 1-4 p.m., 7723 Chambers Creek Road W., Tacoma, 253.620.8373]
