The ninth annual Bowls of Hope sale and holiday celebration, raising money and awareness to help eliminate hunger in the West Valley, is 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2 at WHAM Community Art Center, 16560 N. Dysart Road.
More than 500 one-of-a-kind food safe glazed bowls will be available for sale in an open-air bazaar and art sale in front of the gallery.
The proceeds from the sale will once again go directly to local charities including St. Mary’s Food Bank and Eve’s place, Homeless Youth Connect, StreetLight USA, All Faith Community Services and the Valley Vista Community Food Bank.
“We look forward to this event every year,” said Connie Whitlock, Executive Director of WHAM. “We get to showcase the great art made here by local artists and give back to the community on so many levels … including providing great holiday gifts made by local artists.”
The price for each bowl ranges from $12 to $15. Other art will also be available for sale.
This year’s festival will feature local artists, food trucks, live entertainment, raffles and a visit from Santa, Mrs. Claus and Santa’s Elves.
