First time today for "Empty Bowls." It was a wonderful experience. So many beautiful bowls to choose from. The vendors and staff were courteous and helpful. The selection of soups was great. 😋 What a wonderful time! We definitely will be back next year. Thank you.

This is a beautiful faculty. Had a wonderful opportunity for The Leadership Group LLC to partner with the Shelter of Flint for a retreat. Nice accommodations and lunch was delicious.

This 501 c 3 nonprofit organization does so much good in the communities that they serve. It was an honor and a privilege to go sort items and pack food for a day! It gave me a new appreciation for all this organization does. I hope they are able to serve hungry and people in need for many more years. Great work!
