Empty Bowls at YAM 2011

People who were unable to make it to the February 25th event can still purchase a bowl and contribute to the food pantry. There are many beautiful bowls still available which will be on display during the 2011 YAM show. This year's YAM will be held at the Millville Library on March 26th from 12 to 3 PM. The library is located at 210 Buck St. in Millville NJ. Please come and support young artists and purchase a handmade bowl.Thanks!

Empty Bowl Event

The Empty Bowl event was a great success! Many people gathered together to eat a simple meal of delicious homemade soup and bread. Diane and I, together with the community, raised over a thousand dollars that will be donated to two area food pantries. It was so wonderful to see so many people from different parts come to together to help feed folks who are hungry.Thank- you everyone who participated.

Soup Making

A group of Girl Scouts and Members of Woodstown Friends Meeting met on February 4th to make soup for the Empty Bowl event. It was a great intergenerational experience and it resulted in some delicious soup! We also glazed bowls that will be for sale at the upcoming event. Hope to see you there!

A Little Help from Our Friends

Skeff Thomas helped out by showing some Girl Scouts how to throw a bowl on the pottery wheel. The girls also lent a hand by glazing some of the bowls that were made at the March YAM show. This project has brought together people from many different communities, to lend a hand, and help us help hungry people in our community.

Event on the 25th of February

The Empty Bowl event will take place on Friday, February 25th from 6 to 8 PM at the Woodstown Friends Meeting House, in Woodstown NJ. Come join us to lend a helping hand to those people who are in need of food. Your donation of $10.00 will buy a beautiful handmade bowl, some delicious soup, and bread. It is our hope that every time you use your bowl, you will be reminded of those less fortunate.
