As Dec. 1, 2 and 3 nears, Lane
Community College (LCC) Florence
Center ceramics students and Siuslaw
High School (SHS) art students are busy
creating bowls for Florence Food Share’s
Empty Bowls fundraiser being held at the
Florence Events Center.
While the clay is being formed, glazes
applied and the kilns fired up, students are
spending time in the classroom preparing
for this annual event while learning and
improving on their craft.
LCC members have supported Florence
Food Share through the Empty Bowls
fundraiser for every one of its 22 years.
Through student contributions of time,
expertise and artistry, Florence Food Share
has been able to serve the less fortunate in
the area through funds raised at this com-
munity event.
More than 70 SHS students are also
involved in the production of handmade
ceramic bowls for Empty Bowls. Students
not only learn how to create handcrafted
ceramic bowls, they are also learning how
to give back to their community in a
unique way.
The project has helped raise awareness
of the needs of others and how to assist in
meeting those needs.
The Empty Bowls fundraiser features a
large cast of contributors and participants

This is a community effort, with neigh-
bors, families and residents of all ages
attending the event and choosing a special
bowl.

day” at participating restaurants through
the month of December.
Food Share expects to have more than
700 bowls available to the public for pur-
chase, with most bowls priced at $10 each.
