Empty Bowls Project
Introduction from the Empty Bowls website:
“The basic idea for Empty Bowls is simple. Participants create ceramic bowls, then serve a simple meal of soup and bread. Guests choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder that there are always Empty Bowls in the world. In exchange for a meal and the bowl, the guest gives a suggested minimum donation of ten dollars. The meal sponsors and/or guests choose a hunger-fighting organization to receive the money collected” (http://www.emptybowls.net/EmptyBowlsProject.htm)
Money raised from Lexington Catholic’s Empty Bowls will benefit the Catholic Action Center and God’s Pantry, both local agencies that feed the hungry in Lexington.
