An Empty Bowls fundraiser to benefit the Interreligious Food Consortium (IFC) will be held on Friday, Sept. 30, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Nancy Cantor Warehouse, located at 350 W. Fayette St. in Syracuse. For a $25 donation, patrons may choose from hundreds of handcrafted ceramic bowls and enjoy a meal of soup and bread from local restaurants.
Empty Bowls is organized by the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ School of Art, Clayscapes Pottery and the IFC. The bowls were created by ceramics students, faculty, and alumni in the School of Art—including Professor Emeritus David MacDonald—as well as local potters.
The IFC is a grassroots organization and a valuable resource in the extensive emergency food network serving the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County. It currently serves approximately 30-40 small- and under-resourced pantries and senior housing, as well as crisis response providers such as case managers, social workers and educators.
The event is open to the public. Free parking is available in the Warehouse Fayette St. lot. For more information, contact Professor Errol Willett at eswillet@syr.edu.
