Hunger is an issue in many communities, and a Hermitage area dinner will seek to make a difference through a simple, grass roots level initiative.
The Empty Bowl fundraiser will see local artists, students and craftspeople create a handmade bowl that will be sold to the public. Each of them will serve as a reminder that, each day, there are local people who may not have enough to eat, but even the smallest efforts can help to make a change.
Every person who buys a bowl will also receive a meal of bread and soup, which will be donated to the event by area bakeries and restaurants. Tickets for the dinner and bowl are being sold for $20 each for adults, and tickets for children who are eight and under will be sold on the day of the activity for $10 each.
The proceeds from the Empty Bowls fundraiser will be donated to the Mercer County Community Food Warehouse. Along with the meal, there will be an even split draw, a basket raffle, and live demonstrations of pottery making. It will be held in the Hope Center for Arts and Technology, Inc. in Sharon. Print shops can be counted upon to craft a variety of promotional materials for this type of occasion.
The event will be held on April 12. The planner’s website includes more details.
