Indiana celebrities Rupert and Laura Boneham of Survivor fame joined a fourth grade class at Washington Woods Elementary to create “tie-dyed” art bowls for the Empty Bowls Project on March 13. The project uses “art from the heart” to remind us that too many people in our community go to bed each night with an empty bowl. The Bonehams wanted to support the April 30 event but couldn’t attend the Celebrity Bowl-athon on March 25, so they made the day special for these fourth graders.
Nearly 1,000 bowls will be available to the public for a donation from 5 to 7 p.m. April 30 at Westfield Middle School. Along with displaying all the art bowls, Westfield Washington Schools will be offering a simple meal of bread and soup. All the proceeds will go to local hunger-fighting agencies, including Open Doors of Westfield, Gleaners Food Bank and the Amanda Strong Foundation.
