MCC will host our annual Empty Bowls event at the Red Mountain and Southern & Dobson Campus. For a $10 donation, patrons may select a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted ceramic bowl to take home. In addition, there will be a silent auction with artwork donated by Valley artists. All proceeds benefit Paz de Cristo Community Center, a nonprofit providing anti-hunger and empowerment support for the East Valley's homeless, unemployed, working poor and their families. Please join us!
