CLEVELAND, OHIO - The Kiwanis Club of Berea
will hold its first Empty Bowl Fundraiser at 5 p.m. on April 16 at Berea High
School, 165 E. Bagley Road.
In
1990, a high school art teacher in Michigan and his students developed a class
project making ceramic bowls for a fundraising event. The students served
guests a simple meal of soup and bread, and guests kept the bowl as a reminder
of world hunger.
Since
that time, the concept developed into Empty Bowls, a fundraising activity that
has raised millions of dollars for food banks, soup kitchens, shelters and
other organizations around the world.
The
hand-crafted bowls being used for our local Kiwanis fundraiser will be made by
students from Jim
Bycznski's Berea High School art class and Jessica Boone's
Midpark High School art class.
Tickets
are $15 per person and include the souvenir bowl, soup, salad, rolls, beverage
and dessert. Proceeds will be used to feed our community through Berea Welfare,
SCAN Hunger Center and Church Street Ministries. For tickets or more
information, call Jodee
Ward at (440) 243-7197.
