Empty Bowls As part of an international fight against hunger, this collaborative effort between the City of Columbus Recreation and Parks, several churches, businesses and program sponsors has raised over $276,000 in the last 21 years for the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. For a  minimum $10 donation, the public is invited to select a bowl and enjoy a meal of homemade soup and bread.
