Join us for Food, Fun & Art, at the 4th annual Empty Bowl Event, 100% of all proceeds go directly to Family Promise of Summit County!
Woodridge Local Schools is partnering with Family Promise of Summit County to present The Empty Bowl Fundraiser to benefit the organization. They invite the community to join them Friday, February 9, 2017, from 5:00-7:30pm at Woodridge High School. Family Promise of Summit County is an emergency center for homeless families with children in need. Many shelters separate children from their parents during a homeless crisis. Family Promise is unique because their mission is to minimize the trauma to children during a homeless event by keeping families together during a time of homelessness.
This is the fourth year of the event. Woodridge High School Ceramics students will be making more than 100 pieces of custom pottery using various clay building techniques. The FCCLA will be preparing a gourmet meal of soup, salad, bread, and desserts. This year, the students wish to involve more local artists and businesses to share in making a difference in the community. There will be a raffle auction, an interactive mural for all ages, and a coloring station for children. The interactive mural station is hosted by Collide: Cuyahoga Falls. If you are interested in contributing art work or a basket for the auction please contact cbenson@woodridge.k12.oh.us or drop off items to the Woodridge High School main office.
“Our students are very excited to have the opportunity to impact our community by teaching about homelessness and providing much needed funds that will directly impact families in Summit County. It is fantastic to see what happens when young artists, chefs and leaders come together in creativity to support such a wonderful organization such as Family Promise,” said Ms. Benson, the Ceramics Instructor at Woodridge High School.
