USI Ceramics Department to host Empty Bowls for Veterans event

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - University of Southern Indiana school officials say the USI Ceramics Department will be hosting the Filling Empty Bowls for Veterans next month.

According to a press release, with a $20 donation, attendees will receive a USI ceramic made bowl, while supplies last, plus soup and bread from Mother Truckers food truck.

School officials say the bowls will be used by Empty Bowls Evansville to raise funds to assist with food relief for Evansville’s undernourished veterans.

Empty Bowls is a national non-profit that lends its name to organizations that raise money to feed the hungry by making and selling ceramic bowls. They recently raised $8,000 for the Evansville Veterans.

Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will go to the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program.
