Empty Bowls at Oakton Someone’s Bowl Is Always Empty: Empty Bowls Fundraiser Coming to Oakton
Hunger issues locally and around the world are the focus of Empty Bowls at Oakton, Saturday, December 3. Professional and student potters from the Chicago area have contributed hundreds of unique bowls for this annual fundraiser.
Sponsored by the Ceramics Club at Oakton, Empty Bowls is a nonprofit, global movement that has raised millions of dollars for food banks, soup kitchens, and other meal programs.
For a donation of $12, participants select a distinctive handcrafted bowl that is theirs to keep, and receive a simple meal of soup and bread as a reminder that “someone’s bowl is always empty.” The event includes a raffle drawing for ceramic art works and a silent auction for select pieces of sculpture and jewelry. All proceeds benefit local food charities. More than 1,200 bowls were sold at last year’s event. Over the last two years, Empty Bowls at Oakton has raised more than $40,000 for local food pantries.
Entertainment will be provided by Patchouli (www.patchouli.net), an acoustic duo whose songs about harmony and healing inspire the human spirit.
The event will run 10:30 a.m. – 2 p.m., at Oakton’s Des Plaines campus, 1600 East Golf Road.
For more information, contact emptybowls@oakton.edu, or call 847-635-1699.
