Berea College Center for Excellence in Learning Through Service and Ceramic Apprenticeship Program team up for annual Empty Bowls Dinner

4-7-10

April 21 offers everyone a chance to have a great bowl of soup and a hand-made bowl from the Berea College Ceramic Apprenticeship Program or local potters, as well as help address hunger in our community.

The Empty Bowls Project will take place in the Woods-Penniman Building on the Berea College Campus from 5:30-7 p.m. on Wednesday April 21. The idea behind the Empty Bowls Project is simple—in exchange for $10 you will be served a meal of soup and bread in a ceramic bowl made by the Berea College Apprenticeship Program or local potters. You keep the bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.

All money collected will go to fight local and regional hunger through donations to the Berea Community Food Bank and other local food banks. The dinner is co-sponsored by the Berea College Center for Excellence in Learning Through Service (CELTS) and the Berea College Ceramic Apprenticeship Program.

Tickets can be purchased by contacting Heather Schill at 985-3804 or at the Alumni Building on Berea College’s campus weekdays April 7-20, 11:30 a.m.-1:15 p.m. and 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. To learn more about the Empty Bowls Project, please visit http://www.emptybowls.net.
