Empty Bowls, a fund-raiser for Project Most, happens on Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. at the American Legion Post 419 in Amagansett, with dine-in and takeout options.

The entrance fee ($15 for adults, $8 for children 5 to 13, free for those under 5) grants patrons tastings and bowls of soup by local chefs, and the event will include a 50-50 raffle. Soups will also be available to go ($15 for a pint, $25 for two).

The Legion is on the corner of Montauk Highway and Abraham's Path.

Project Most is a nonprofit that offers after-school and weekend enrichment opportunities for kids as well as school vacation camps. More information is at projectmost.org.
