On Saturday, November 12, 2016, St. Mary’s Community Church again participated in the annual Plant City Empty Bowls, and as usual, Pastor Timothy Knighten’s soup was one of the first to sell out.
This year’s soup, “Meat and Patato Pot Roast Soup” was gone within an hour of the opening of the event.
Organized by the United Food Bank of Plant City, sponsors of this year’s event included; The City of Plant City, The Florida Strawberry Festive, Publix, Jarrett-Scott Ford, The Arts Council of Plant City, Winn Dixie of Plant City, Wal-Mart of Plant City, Flowers Bakery, Dart Containers Corp., and other area businesses.
