This year, $4,200
was raised at the Soup Supper Benefit last Friday at First Christian Church.
The giving didn’t stop that night. Bowls continue to be purchased by contacting
the church at FirstChristianGlendora@verizon.net or
calling (626) 335-2240. The Art Center
is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays so people can purchase bowls through
the end of this month.
Donations
are also accepted throughout the year for the project at First Christian
Church, 300 N. Glendora Ave., P.O. Box 698, Glendora, CA 91740.
The
purchase of one bowl provides 25 meals for a family of four. Funds raised help
buy groceries from Shepherd’s Pantry or families, meals at the Cold Weather
Shelter or emergency food vouchers for families in need.
More than
100 potters contributed bowls. “Our champion bowl providers are the students
and alumni of Professor Michael Hillman at Citrus College, students and
instructors at the Tri Community Adult Education program a.k.a. Pioneer
Potters, and retired Glendora police officer Alan Wadham,” Lynn said.
“Our Souper

Kara’s Corner, Ed’s Place, Village Kitchen Shoppe, Village Vault, Sushi &

she added.
Other
