Ottawa High School organizers have rescheduled their Empty Bowls fundraiser for 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. March 12 at Ottawa Middle School, 1230 S. Ash St., Ottawa.

The sixth annual event, which was delayed because of recent heavy snowfall that canceled classes at Ottawa schools, is designed to raise funds for local food pantries Hope House and East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corp., according to a news release.

The bowls, which are made by OHS students and community members, cost a minimum donation of $10, or $30 for a family of four, the release said. The bowls are filled with soup, with bread served on the side. A silent auction, which includes “bountiful bowls,” also will take place during the event. Those who want to sponsor or donate a bountiful bowl for the auction may do so, the release said.

Empty Bowl organizers also are helping members of the Family Career and Community Leaders of America chapter at OHS collect pop tabs for The Ronald McDonald House charities.
