Abington Senior High School art students created over 80 ceramic bowls for the 22nd Annual Empty Bowl Benefit Dinner at Arcadia University. Some students created the bowls on potters’ wheels while others manipulated their thrown bowls to create very interesting designs. On the night of the dinner, each attendee/donor who had paid to attend the event selects one of the donated bowls, handcrafted by the students as well as by local professional artists. The bowls are filled with delicious soups donated by area restaurants and members of the surrounding community. Attendees take home the bowl, which serves as a reminder that somewhere in the world, someone is without a meal or shelter. Each year 100% of the proceeds go to two non-profits assisting the hungry and the homeless. This year’s proceeds will benefit Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network, a local agency that provides support to homeless families as they move toward permanent housing. The second agency is The Hunger Project, which promotes hunger relief and economic stability through improved agricultural techniques worldwide.
