"There's a story about a man who left this earth and was taken on a tour of the inner realms. He was shown a room where he saw a large group of hungry people trying to eat dinner, but because the spoons that they were trying to eat with were longer than their arms, they remained frustrated. "That's terrible!" exclaimed the man (...) and on they went. "...the man was perplexed to see what looked very much like the same scene: there was a group of people with spoons longer than their arms. As he looked more closely, however, he saw happy faces and full tummies, for there was one important difference: the people here had learned to feed each other."  - ( Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore by Alan Cohen)

This event continues to bring NH's hunger problems to the forefront, the basic premise being to purchase a bowl so others may eat from theirs. Bowls were created and donated by potters, woodworkers, youth groups and students. During the 11am-2pm event, guests purchased bowls, as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. In exchange, a simple meal of donated soups, breads, desserts and beverages was served. Lunch was also available to those who did not purchase bowls. All purchases help TCK provide food assistance to people in the Monadnock Region.

Each year musicians John Cucci and Animaterra perform for free during the event.
