The ninth annual Empty Bowls event to benefit the PATH Center is planned for Thursday, Feb. 19, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Knights of Columbus Hall, 111 Elliot Lane. The project is jointly sponsored by the Defiance College Social Work Organization, art department, and office of spiritual life.

Defiance College art professor Steve Smith and local artist Brandon Knott with the help of Bryan High School and DC students will be making bowls for this year’s event. Diners will be encouraged to continue using these one-of-a-kind bowls as a reminder of those who their donations will serve.
