2013 Empty Bowls Dinner to be held Feb. 21

DEFIANCE, Ohio – The thirteenth annual Empty Bowls event to benefit the PATH Center is planned for Thursday, Feb. 21, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Knights of Columbus Hall, 111 Elliott Road. The project is jointly sponsored by the Defiance College Social Work Organization and DC art department. The goal is to raise funds to help feed the hungry, with all proceeds going to the PATH Center.

Area restaurants and individuals make and donate a variety of soups and breads included in the dinner menu, with soup served in handmade bowls. Defiance College art students and faculty member Jason Stockman 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.

Tickets are $11 and include a hand-thrown bowl, soup, and bread. Meal-only tickets are $8. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance at Defiance College’s information desk in Defiance Hall.
