With the change from winter to spring comes a student favorite event at Granby Memorial High School—Empty Bowls. The GMHS National Honor Society’s annual Empty Bowls dinner will be held on Friday, April 26, 5 to 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of Granby Memorial High School.
Empty Bowls at GMHS unites delicious soups, hand-made artisan bowls, and a silent auction to help raise money to support food banks in our community. Each ticket comes with a hand-made ceramic bowl and unlimited soups and bread generously donated by local restaurants. The bowls have either been donated by local artists or thrown, fired and glazed in the GMHS art room by students, alumni and teachers. The silent auction will have various pieces hand-crafted by local artists up for sale.
Empty Bowls is a grassroots organization that works to fight hunger in local communities. The bowl each person takes home should serve as a reminder of those in the community who struggle with food security. The National Honor Society anticipates several hundred attendees this year with the proceeds going directly to the Granby and Hartland food banks. The cost will be $8 for soup only, $15 for soup and a bowl, and $10 per bowl with soup for a family of 3+. We hope to see you there.
