The EMPTY BOWL Event
Thursday, March 24th
from 5 pm to 7:30 pm
Parish Hill High School
304 Parish Hill Rd,
Chaplin,
CT 06235-2724,
(860) 455-9584 |

The “Empty Bowls” project began in Michigan in the spring of 1991. Due to the tremendous success of the project and the work of literally thousands of participants, the Empty Bowls service project now occurs throughout the year all over our country, raising millions of dollars to fight hunger.
On March 24th this year at the Parish Hill High School in Chaplin, guests will choose a handmade bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. In exchange for the bowl of soup, and the bowl to keep, guests will contribute a suggested minimum donation of $10. One hundred percent of each meal's proceeds are devoted to local hunger-fighting organizations, such as food banks or soup kitchens, or to national or international charitable groups. For the event in Chaplin a donation of $10 is suggested and the proceeds go to the Soup Kitchen in Willimantic.
Many people have already given time to making, glazing and firing the beautiful bowls that will be available. People also donate the delicious soups you can try. Recipes for the soups are available too. Come early to be sure of a good choice among the beautiful bowls available for purchase.
A few of our Spouses Network members are among the many talented people who have made bowls already for this event. You can still help to make and glaze bowls for the event on March 24th. There is no charge for making the bowls prior to the event. As Ann says, it is a great time to learn, care, and share.
For more information please contact Ann Williams at awilliams@parishhill.org |
