Open Door Food Pantry and EES third grade!

Our third grade students demonstrated our core value of caring today as they decorated bowls for the Open Door Food Pantry in Gloucester.  Please read about this wonderful fundraising event:

Empty Bowl Dinner 2014
Cruiseport Gloucester
6 Rowe Square

4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Join us for an evening of food and hospitality.

The meal is simple—soup, bread and a cookie. Guests can choose and keep a soup bowl handcrafted for this community event. The bowl goes home as an unspoken reminder that somewhere someone’s bowl is empty.
Extra parking is available at Harbor Beach with complimentary trolley service to and from the event site.
Tickets available at the door. $15 for adults and $10 for children under ten.
Empty Bowl events are held nationally to generate awareness concerning hunger and to raise money for local hunger-relief programs. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Summer Meals andMobile Market programs.
If you would like to make or donate bowls for this event, please contact us.
