Community Cooperative Seeks Volunteers for Empty Bowls Event FORT MYERS, FL. (April 13, 2023) – Community Cooperative is seeking volunteers the Empty Bowls fundraiser presented by Florida Power & Light on April 29, 2023, at Alliance for the Arts. Volunteer shifts are open between 8:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. on the day of the event. This year’s event will feature soup tastings, vendors, food trucks, family friendly activities, dance, and music performances by Lee County school students, and more. One-of-a kind handcrafted ceramic bowls made by Lee County school children will be available while supplies last at the event as a reminder of those who go hungry right here in southwest Florida. “This is a fantastic event that raises awareness about hunger and food insecurity through art,” said Stefanie Edwards, CEO of Community Cooperative. “If you are a student looking for service hour credit for school, or just have a free Saturday and want to help out at a fun event, this is a great way to get involved.” The event supports Community Cooperative’s emergency food programs that include Sam’s Community Café & Kitchen, Community Market and Mobile Food Pantries.
