CHAMPLAIN LENNOXVILLE AND BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY ORGANIZE EMPTY BOWLS PROJECT

SHERBROOKE – Champlain College Lennoxville and Bishop’s University have joined forces to organize the third Empty Bowls/Bols du Partage Project that will be held at the Hope Community Church on October 15th 2016.  Dating back to the 1990’s the Empty Bowls international project has been adopted by many communities to fight hunger in their very own neighbourhood.  This event invites you to share in a bowl of soup to support those in need.

Several hundred beautiful handcrafted bowls have been made by local potters. Each bowl is hand painted and unique. Some of the bowls have been decorated by well-known artists and local dignitaries. Delicious homemade soups and breads have been made by a local chef, Billy Lidstone Chef a Domicile. Local musicians Jonathan MacAuley and Jason Drew will also be performing.

You are invited to come choose one of the hundreds of bowls, fill it with soup, grab a homemade bun and enjoy. You then take the bowl home as a reminder that your contribution has gone directly into your community. All the money we raise goes to Lennoxville Elementary School Breakfast Program, The Cornerstone Food Bank and the BU/CRC Pastoral Fund.

Soup is truly food for the soul, so help feed another soul and enjoy an autumn afternoon in Lennoxville on October 15 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Hope Church, 102 Queen Street. Tickets are available for $25.00 each at the Bishop’s University Bookstore, or 819-564-3666, ext 119.

This event is made possible by BU/CRC, Sodexo, Provigo Lennoxville, Pâtisseries et Gâteaux Lorraine and Lucy Doheny Potter.
