Empty Bowls event
March 20 draws
attention to
hunger
LSS, New Beginnings, Place of
Hope, and the Paramount Arts District are
partnering to produce this year's Empty Bowls Soup Feed Benefit in St.
Cloud on Sunday, March 20. Empty Bowls is an internationally
recognized program designed to draw attention to
the problem of hunger around the world. For $10
(individual) or $30 (family), attendees will get soup, bread,
and a beverage, and can enjoy a variety of entertainment. Each
person can keep their "Benefactor Bowl" after
the event as a reminder that someone's bowl is
always empty. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to benefit
LSS Youth Programs, New Beginnings, and Place of Hope Ministries.
Volunteers from several area
schools, colleges, and churches have been
making thousands of new bowls for this event. Several restaurants,
bakeries, and food suppliers are
supplying the food, and artists from the St. Cloud
area have donated a collection of fine pottery to be auctioned off.
Festivities will be held from
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Paramount Arts
District, 913 West St. Germain Street, in St. Cloud. To make bowls or
volunteer, contact Conni Orth, LSS St. Cloud Area Crisis Nursery, at (320)
654-1090 or scloudcn@lssmn.org
