Buy an empty bowl and fight hunger at Soroptimist of Ashland's Empty Bowls.
Once more, local Ashland potters and SOU and Ashland students have donated over 300 ceramic items for sale, the empty bowl a reminder of hunger in our community. Local restaurants have donated bowls of soup, available to be purchased as coupons for $5, redeemable at the restaurant. The proceeds go to Ashland’s local food agencies: ACCESS Food Share, Ashland Emergency Food Bank, Uncle Food’s Diner, and Food for People.
Soroptimist International of Ashland is sponsoring its 10th Annual Empty Bowls, raising $28,000 thus far to fight hunger in our community. Under the amazing leadership of Sally Jones, Soroptimist organizer, and the partnership of Clayfolk Potters and SOU Art Department, Empty Bowls raises money for and awareness of hunger in our midst.
Come, enjoy light music and hors d'oeurves, view the wide range of ceramics--and plan to purchase some of the lovely pottery pieces and soup coupons, thereby fighting hunger.
