Kent School to Host 10th Annual Empty Bowls Event to Combat Food Insecurity
Kent School in Chestertown is preparing to host its 10th annual Empty Bowls benefit on Friday, November 13, at 6 p.m. The event aims to support local families experiencing food insecurity. Every student at Kent School, from preschool through eighth grade, will create a ceramic bowl for the occasion. Members of the public are invited to attend and can purchase a bowl for $10, which includes a choice of homemade soups. All proceeds generated from the event will directly benefit the Kent County Food Pantry. This initiative is part of a broader, grassroots Empty Bowls movement, where artists and craftspeople globally raise funds for food-related charities. The project also serves as an educational tool, teaching students about hunger in their community and the significance of helping others through hands-on participation. In addition to the Empty Bowls event, Kent School students are actively involved in organizing a food drive, coat drive, and diaper drive to further assist those in need.
