Arcadia University Empty Bowl Benefit Dinner

GLENSIDE,
Pa. (Oct. 25, 2013)—Arcadia University is celebrating the
historic twentieth Empty Bowl Benefit dinner to raise awareness for hunger and
homelessness on Monday, November 18. The community is invited to
participate in this service event. Seating is by ticket only with continuous
seating from 4:30 to 8 p.m. in Grey Towers Castle (450 S. Easton
Road, Glenside).

Since
1993, Arcadia University has been holding the Empty Bowl Benefit Dinner to assist
agencies which work to address hunger and homelessness both locally and internationally.
Everyone who attends will get to select a handcrafted bowl made by Arcadia
students and other local artists in and the around the community. They can then
fill their bowls, choosing from an assortment of mouth-watering soups, amazing
breads, and desserts—all donated by generous area restaurants and individuals.

“Participants
take their bowls home to serve as a reminder of the many people in the world
who live with an empty bowl every day,” says Cindy Rubino, Arcadia’s Community
Service Coordinator.
