SLIPPERY ROCK — Slippery Rock University’s Student Government Association will host an Empty Bowls dinner from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday in the Smith Student Center Ballroom.

At the event, students, faculty, staff and community members can purchase bowls, eat soup and bread, and learn about food insecurity issues plaguing college campuses across the country.

Handcrafted bowls, created by members of the SRU Potter’s Guild and students during open studio time, will be available for purchase. Bowls will be priced from $5 to $20, depending on size, design and time spent creating the work.

Proceeds will benefit Bob’s Market, the SGA-supported food pantry for SRU students that is located at the Macoskey Center.
