Everett Service Club Sponsors Empty Bowls Project
Canned food drive also planned to help fight world hunger.

Submitted by District 67 schools
The Everett Student Service Club is sponsoring their school’s first annual Empty Bowl Project. Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to spread awareness and fight hunger. During this project Everett students, educators, and local artisans will come together to create handcrafted bowls, glazed with dinner safe glaze, that will be available for purchase. All money proceeds from this project will be donated to the Northern Illinois Food Pantry.
The Student Service Club will be hosting a communal lunch to promote awareness of world hunger and share Everett’s success of the Empty Bowl Project. The communal lunch will take place on Tuesday, February 24 during the normally scheduled lunch periods in the Everett Gym/Lunchroom:
