Loyalist is pleased to host the annual Empty Bowls event on Saturday, March 4 from 11 am – 4 pm in the Dining Hall. Proceeds from the event will go to the Quinte Region Food Share Shelter (QRFSS) — a collective of several local food banks including Deseronto, Picton, Marmora, Stirling, Wellington, Northbrook, Belleville and Loyalist College.
Participants will have the opportunity to help those food banks by either buying a bowl of soup for $8 or, for $20, buying the soup along with a hand-crafted bowl made by a local potters or woodworkers to take home with them.
The gourmet soup and desserts will be provided by the College’s Culinary program. Soup will also be provided by award-winning Chef Michael Hoy of Chef Michael Hoy Culinary in Picton.
The Quinte Woodturners Guild will take a turn on stage demonstrating how to make a wooden bowl, and an artisan and vendor marketplace with approximately 20 vendors will run from 10:30 am – 4 pm. Social Service Worker program students at Loyalist do most of the planning for this event. Tickets for Empty Bowls are available online or at the door Saturday.
