plan Salvation Army fundraiser
Emergency food available today
The Village Potters Guild and the Over
the Grill Gang Chefs' Club have joined forces
with the Plymouth Canton Educational Park
Culinary Team and The Salvation Army to
help celebrateNational SoupSwapDay.
The art project begins on Jan. 5, 2013
when individuals can come to the guild to
paint designs on a bowl of their choicewhich
will include a large selection of shapes and
sizes. Members of the guild will then glaze
and fire the bowls so they are ready for the
SoupSwap on Jan. 26.
Individuals can choose one of the sched-
uled days and times to come and paint their
bowls there are both morning and afternoon
sessions available on Jan. 5, 11, 12 and 21.
The cost of the painting session is $15 per
person, although families can become
involved with a fee of $15 for the first two
members and $10 for each additional family
member.
Those who would like to decorate more
than one bowl can do so at a cost of $10 for
each additional bowl, limited to four. Bowls
decorated by guild members will also be
available on the day of the Soup Swap for
$14 each.
On Soup Swap day, the Over the Grill
Gang Chefs' Club and The high school culi-
nary team will be preparing delicious soups
for participants to purchase when they come
to pick up their bowl. The cost of the soup, to
enjoy at the studio or to take home, is $3 a
cup.
“The Chefs' Club is excited to collaborate
with the Village Potters Guild and the PCEP
Culinary Team in giving back to the commu-
nity and especially the Salvation Army as the
New Year begins,” said Dave Varga, a mem-
ber of the club.
The Salvation Army food pantry will ben-
efit from the project. The potters are asking
participants to bring a canned food item to
the soup swap to help restock the shelves at
the pantry.
Major Keith Bailey, the pastor of the
Plymouth Corps, said he is thankful for this
collaboration, especially in January.
“After the Christmas holidays, our pantry
is very low. New partners and donors will
help meet the need of families in the com-
munity who rely on the pantry to feed their
families,”Bailey said.
