On Wednesday March 18, members of the Berea community will have the opportunity to help address local hunger needs by purchasing a simple meal of soup and a hand-made bowl, donated by the Berea College ceramics student volunteers or local potters.
The Empty Bowls event, jointly organized by Berea College CELTS, Berea College Ceramic Student Volunteers, and Berea College Dining Services will take place at the Commons, located in the Woods-Penniman Building on the Berea College Campus. The event will be held on Wednesday March 18, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The idea behind Empty Bowls is simple—in exchange for $10, you will be served a meal of soup in a ceramic bowl made by the Berea College ceramics student volunteers or local potters. You keep the bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.
All the proceeds will go to fight local and regional hunger through donations to the Berea Community Food Bank and other local food banks. The event is co-sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Learning through Service (CELTS) at Berea College and Berea College Dining Services.
Tickets can be purchased at the door on the day of the event, or from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Berea College Dining Services, located in the Alumni Building on Berea College’s campus, through Tuesday, March 17.
