Empty Bowls Project

Empty Bowls is a project sponsored by the Kenyon College Craft Center, the Kenyon Review, and the Mount Vernon Nazarene University ceramics students as a fundraiser to fight hunger in Knox County. Bid on bowls made by students and community members, and enjoy a delicious soup dinner! All proceeds benefit Food for the Hungry in Knox County.

The Sixth Annual Soup Dinner and Auction will be Friday, November 9, 2012 in Alumni Dining, Peirce Hall, from 5:00-7:00 pm. Admission is $5/students and children, $8/adults.
