Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary hosted its Empty Bowls fundraiser event April 27, at St. Jude the Apostle Church near Lewes.

Participants were given a cup of soup and a piece of bread donated by SoDel Concepts restaurants to help visualize the impact of food insecurity. They were able to choose a bowl to take home as a reminder of those bowls left empty by hunger. All donations and proceeds will help local organizations fight hunger. David Rowe, president-elect of the Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary, said the group hoped to raise around $8,000.

Also present was Suzie Keefer, founder of Miriam’s Table, which has a mission to feed children living in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as Steve Grossman, who was fundraising for the Sussex County Rotary Club’s Can-Do Playground.
