Raising money to keep an area food bank going is becoming more of a project of community engagement than an attempt to stockpile funds for a nonprofit. At least that’s the case with the Empty Bowl Luncheon for the Georgia Mountain Food Bank, said the food bank’s Executive Director Kay Blackstock. “So many people are involved in it that it’s hard to measure (success) by dollars, because you engage so many people in it,” Blackstock said.
