Empty Bowls Fund Raiser Is Saturday at Shorecest

Students at Shorecrest Preparatory School have adopted the Empty Bowls project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing money to charities and food banks to help feed the hungry.

This is the second year that Shorecrest students have prepared ceramic, hand-made bowls, and secured donations of soup and bread from local restaurants to put together this luncheon.

The donations received from this project will go to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic. 

The event will take place at Shorecrest on Saturday, April 2, 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 pm in Landy Hall Lobby.

In exchange for a minimum $10 donation, guests will receive a hand-crafted bowl filled with a simple, yet delicious, soup and bread.

Choices include soups from Ricky P’s Café, Miller’s Ale House Restaurant, Mazzaro’s Italian Market, Fresh Go Wild Market and Grill, Applebees, Kissin’ Cuzzins, Chick-fil-A, and The Fresh Market.

Bread is being provided by Jo-El Bakery, Firehouse Subs and Sweetbay Supermarket. Guests will take the bowl home with them as a reminder that someone's bowl is always empty, but we can choose to help alleviate hunger.
