Empty Bowls: Fundraiser for Homeless Services

Sunday, April 28, 2024

Sundaes on a Sunday

Rengstorff Park, Mountain View

Back by popular demand, CSA hosts our annual Homeless Services fundraiser as an ice cream sundae party in the park for the third year in a row. Empty Bowls, traditionally a soup supper, became Sundaes on a Sunday to accommodate an outdoor take on the worldwide phenomena pairing potters to fundraise for organizations serving the homeless. Featuring bottomless ice cream, beautiful bowls, and fun children’s activities, this year’s event takes place on Sunday, April 28th from 2-4pm in Rengstorff Park.

With thanks to Baskin Robbins for the delicious ice cream and OVCAG for the beautiful bowls.

Empty Bowls will be at the BBQ Area of the park on Crisanto Ave. Parking may be limited – consider biking or taking the Mountain View Community Shuttle. Overflow parking is available at the Mountain View Senior Center.
