No soup will be served. To support our local restaurants who have long supported Empty Bowls, a coupon for a free bowl of soup will be given with each bowl. Coupon can be presented at a participating restaurant when you place a food order. All proceeds from the Empty Bowls Project will go to benefit food programs throughout Troy and will be distributed equally among them.
