St. Petersburg College Ceramics<\/a> faculty and students, along with local business partner Highwater Clays, are putting on an Empty Bowls luncheon Oct. 28 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. to benefit RCS Pinellas<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The luncheon will feature soup served in bowls made by SPC students, faculty, and local artists. Attendees will choose a bowl, and enjoy a meal of soup, bread and dessert. The bowl is yours to take home as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through this event we are helping our ceramics students to see that they can make positive change through their art and make a big impact in their local community.
\nThis event is to raise funds for RCS, which provides food to 60,000 residents of Clearwater, 17,000 of whom are children.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Empty<\/a><\/p>\n

Empty Bowls began in 1990 in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., where John Hartom, a high school teacher, his wife Lisa, and his students wanted to support a local food drive. One year later Empty Bowls developed into a project to support food banks, soup kitchens, and other organizations fighting hunger. John and Lisa formed the Imagine\/Render group as a nonprofit organization to promote Empty Bowls. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next 20 plus years, Empty Bowls has spread across the United States and other parts of the world. Last year\u2019s event<\/a>\u00a0at the SPC Clearwater Campus raised more than $3,000 for RCS. This year we would like to raise significantly more!<\/span><\/p>\n
