MHKC raises funds to enable our mission of Making a Difference for Youth and Our Community by partnering with TriLakes Cares to conduct the Empty Bowls Dinner & Silent Auction in October. Tri-Lakes cares plans and executes the Silent Auction portion of the event and MHKC plans and executes the Empty Bowls Dinner.

Patrons may prepurchase a ticket to the event for $2 5 ($ 30 at the door) which entitles them to a bowl, a meal, entertainment, auction participation, and community fellowship. Annually, 800+ bowls are produced by local artists & schools and donated for the event at no cost. Paper bags to carry the bowls are decorated by D38 elementary students. Soup is donated by 25+ local restaurants and bread is donated by local stores. Beverages are donated by Home Depot and Serranos Coffee. Desserts are donated by local stores and MHKC volunteers coordinate with TLC, prepare publicity for the event, conduct ticket sales, arrange for entertainment, solicit, donations, provide kitchen support and collect, operate the event, and clean up afterward.

MHKC volunteers contribute about 1,000 hours annually to this project. This one and all night event raises more than $20,000 proceeds of the event are donated to our partner Tri-Lakes Cares for their mission.

This event takes place on Wednesday of the first full week of October of every year.
