John Cooper Empty Bowls Project

Each year, students from The John Cooper School National Art Honor Society create hundreds of bowls in an effort to raise funds to combat hunger in the community. The bowls are part of their Annual Empty Bowls Project where g uests were invited to donate $10 and in return enjoy a bowl of soup, a chance to bid on a silent auction items and the opportunity to take home a handmade bowl as a reminder that there are empty bowls in the community.  Proceeds from the Annual Empty Bowls Project are donated to Interfaith of The Woodlands Food Pantry for hunger relief. Thank you to  The John Cooper School  for your generosity!
