Meeker High School FCCLA has brought the international event of “Empty Bowls” to Meeker. Students have spent the fall semester learning the craft of the potter’s wheel and glazing. With art instructor Ben Quinn’s guidance, they have created 200 bowls that sold at the event “Empty Bowls” fundraiser.

“Empty Bowls is an international effort to address the needs of persons who are food challenged, or don’t have enough to eat.” said Hummel. “The idea behind Empty Bowls is to bring talent of our students in the art department, as well as the culinary students together to fight hunger in our community.” Both Quinn and Hummel were overwhelmed with the support from both Meeker and Rangely. “This is an event we would like to see annually,” said Hummel, “and we look forward to what these funds can do for our community!”
