Special to Iredell Free News

Fifth Street Ministries will host its Empty Bowls event on Sunday, March 26.

Sponsored by Iredell Health System, the fundraiser will be held from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Statesville. The event will feature four types of soup from local restaurants (one vegetarian option), drinks and dessert.
