Empty Bowls serving up more soup for the soul

- Submitted by Champlain Regional College Lennoxvill­e

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.
