Raising Forks and Funds BY KATIE MACKINNON
Community members raised more than $29,000 to help those facing hunger in Chatham County at CORA’s 11th Empty Bowls fundraiser on March 19. Attendees enjoyed soups made by local chefs, plus homemade breads and desserts. A raffle and live music from Popcorn Blue Band kept the night going at Galloway Ridge. Guests took home handcrafted bowls of their choice, which were donated by artists of all ages, as a reminder of CORA’s mission to fill the empty bowls of those in need. CM
