Are you a HERO? A college student who can't cover food, a grandmother on social security short on food funds, a small business owner who can't feed his family, a veteran who can't hold a job and has no food: these are just a few of the people served by El Caldito Soup Kitchen, which provides 300-500 meals every day, 365 days a year, to Las Cruces area residents, including the disabled, elderly, youngsters and working poor.
Be a Hero: Support Empty Bowls. The premier fundraising event to benefit El Caldito, Empty Bowls has been brought to the community by the Potters' Guild of Las Cruces for more than three decades. Voted one of the community's most popular fundraisers, it raises funds for El Caldito to feed the hungry.
Each $25 ticket equals on average seven plates of food. Last year Empty Bowls netted more than $58,000. Help reach this year's stretch goal – the 34th consecutive year in Las Cruces – $63,000. But we need a WHOLE CADRE OF HEROES to succeed!

11 am to 2 pm. KRWG listing: 34 years of partnership between the Potters' Guild and El Caldito; soups from over 50 local restaurants.
