Empty Bowls Project
On the chilly evening of February 7, 2013, local artists, service organizations, businesses, and community members came together to enjoy a hot bowl of soup and raise money for two deserving food banks, the Brecksville Food Pantry and South Hills Lend a Hand. This event, known as Empty Bowls and created by The Imagine Render Group and “is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger” (www.emptybowls.net). A simple meal of bread, salad and soup which was donated by 10 local restaurants was served. The manager of the Zoup in Independence even offered extra help serving the meal. Attendees then took home ceramic or wooden bowls as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The bowls were created by artists from the Brecksville Broadview Heights High School, the Brecksville Center for the Arts, and the North Coast Woodturners Club. The Empty Bowls event was led by the Brecksville Kiwanis and the Broadview Heights Lions Club. These two organizations also received support from the BBHHS Key Club, the Royalton Hills Lions, and the Independence Kiwanis. Approximately $5000 was raised as a result of this event, which included a silent auction of 5 wooden bowls and a generous donation from the Girl Scouts who handed out desserts and collected donations. The money raised will truly help to benefit the hungry in these communities. Thank you to ....
