Fill the Bowls Invites Community to Lunch on Aug. 28

Fill the Bowls! Taste of Fox Valley returns for the 3rd year to bring the area's most favorite dining spots together for one afternoon to benefit the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry.

On Sunday, Aug. 28, Fill the Bowls invites the community to sample soup and a variety of dishes from several local restaurants including Ballydoyle Irish Pub, Reuland Food Service, Basil's Greek Dining, Fireside Grille, and many more.

The event, sponsored by Gerald Hyundai along with other area businesses and individuals, is for the whole family. New this year, there is a kids' corner. For adults, there is a wine pull and morning mimosas.

"What's amazing is that one lunch ticket for this event can help us to purchase over $200 worth of food. It's a fun way to raise awareness and assist the food pantry, and everyone leaves with a full belly," said Diane Renner, pantry director.

The two-hour lunch event is from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Pipefitters Training Center, 2650 N. Farnsworth Ave. in Aurora.

Marie's Annual Spirit Awards celebration will be held during the event from 1 to 1:30 p.m.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children. Children under five are free.
