Soup Bowls for Hunger 2015
The ninth annual Soup Bowls for Hunger will be held on Thursday, March 26th in the Rutland High School Cafeteria. Tickets are $15 which includes soup, roll, dessert, beverage, a hand crafted soup bowl and entertainment. There will be three sittings at 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 7:00 PM. Tickets must be purchased in advance at Rutland High School. All proceeds will be donated to the Community Cupboard and other local food shelves.
Soup Bowls for Hunger is being coordinated for the fifth year by members of the local Delta Kappa Gamma Society, an international society for women educators.
“The event is truly a community effort,” said chairperson, Lynn Del Bianco Hier with over 200 bowls made by RHS Creative Structures teacher Darren Spafford, and students from Rutland and Otter Valley Union High Schools and Green Mountain College. The rest of the bowls are donated by professional potters from Rutland County, western New York and Connecticut. Rolls are made by Stafford Tech students and desserts by Rutland High’s Real Meals classes. Entertainment will be provided by RHS choral director, Dan Graves. Raffle tickets will also be available for numerous donated items. Soups have been donated by Café Provence, Castleton State College, CSC Golf Team, East Creek Catering, Harvest Moon Café & Bake House, Holiday Inn, Killington Avenue Market and Deli, Panera, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Sodexo, Table 24 and Terrill Street Market. Last year’s event raised $12,750 for local food shelves.
