Event Background: Spectrum (spectrumvt.org) hosts this event every year to raise funds to help homeless and at-risk youth in Burlington. Message from Jett: "The Empty Bowl Dinner is on Thursday, October 12th. I’m hoping that you could arrive at 7:30pm. We will have pizza for you when you arrive. I’m asking breakdown volunteers to plan to stay until 10pm, but we usually finish closer to 9:30pm. Break down includes folding up tables and chairs and loading event materials into our van. We are so thankful for the over 50 volunteers who help with the Empty Bowl Dinner each year. Without your help the event would not be possible!"
