The Interfaith Student Center is teaming up with local potter David McBeth for the eighth annual Empty Bowls Soup Supper. The event, which is held each year to raise money for the food bank at WE Care Ministries, will be held Thursday, Nov. 18, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Interfaith Student Center. For a $10 donation, individuals can enjoy an all-you-can-eat soup supper and take home a pottery bowl handcrafted by UTM art professor David McBeth and some of his students. A $5 donation is requested for those who wish to eat only, but UTM students can eat for free. All donations will go to help feed the hungry in Weakley County. In the last two years, the Empty Bowls Soup Supper has raised almost $5,000 for the WE Care food pantry. Each year, Professor McBeth donates his time and the cost of materials to make the bowls. Soup is donated by area churches and Sodexho Dining Services, while students at UT Martin volunteer their time to assist with meal preparations, serving, and clean-up. The Interfaith Student Center is located on the eastern edge of the UTM campus at 312 Lovelace Ave. For more information, contact the Rev. Jolinne Balentine-Downey at (731) 587-2603.
