Empty Bowls
From Rep. Roy: "The Franklin High School Empty Bowls Club and I are excited to launch our preparations for the 2026 event to support the Franklin Food Pantry in May. Reuniting with the team to share ideas and decide on silent auction items has been productive. This year, we've decided to design and make mugs to commemorate Horace Mann's 230th birthday. You can find these mugs at the 11th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser silent auction scheduled for Thursday, May 14, 2026, at 6 PM at Franklin High School. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the event. You can purchase tickets at https://www.franklinfoodpantry.org/.../events/emptybowls-2/"
