Empty Bowls serving up more soup for the soul
Champlain College Lennoxville and Bishop’s University have joined forces to organize the fifth Empty Bowls/bols du Partage Project that will be held at the Hope Community Church on Nov. 18, 2017.
Dating back to the 1990s, the Empty Bowls international project has been adopted by many communities to help fight hunger in their very own neighborhoods.
This event invites you to share in a bowl of soup to support those in need.
Several hundred beautiful handcrafted bowls have been made by local potters. Each bowl is hand painted and unique. Some of the bowls have been decorated by well-known artists and local dignitaries.
Delicious homemade soups and breads will be prepared by local chef Billy Lidstone Chef a Domicile.
Local musician Jonathan Macauley will provide the entertainment during the event.
You are invited to come choose one of the hundreds of bowls, full it with soup, grab a homemade bun and enjoy. You then take the bowl home as a reminder that your contribution has gone directly into your community. All the money raised goes to Lennoxville Elementary School Breakfast Program, LDWC Food Bank, The Cornerstone Food Bank and the BU/CRC Pastoral Fund.
Soup is truly food for the soul, so help feed another soul and enjoy an autumn afternoon in Lennoxville on Nov. 18 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Hope Church, 102 Queen Street. Tickets are available for $25.00 each at the Bishop’s University Bookstore, or 819-564-3666 ext 119.
