FAIRMONT — “We have plenty of bowls,” said Jeff Greenham, ceramics professor and the coordinator of Fairmont State University’s art department.

Fairmont State students, faculty and staff have been working to make bowls that will be donated to the United Way’s Empty Bowls Luncheon on Sunday. Empty Bowls is a grassroots effort started by potters to help support organizations that feed the hungry. Guests choose a bowl when they arrive at the soup luncheon and can take the bowl with them when the event is over. The bowls symbolize those in the community who don’t have enough to eat.

Tickets for the luncheon are $15 for adults and $5 for children and are still available. For more information, call the United Way at 304-366-4550.
