Support WHS's Art for Hunger Relief

Emergency Food Relief for people in disaster areas worldwide

Welcome to WHS's 2024 Empty Bowl Fundraiser to support World Central Kitchen!

Art students from Ms. Johnson's and Ms. Jellinghaus's classes at Westwood High School are selling handmade ceramic bowls to raise money to benefit World Central Kitchen. World Central Kitchen's mission is to provide disaster food relief to people in emergency situations. This non-profit organization currently provides meals to people in war-torn and disaster areas worldwide.

Each bowl took about 2-4 hours to craft, depending on size. There are small details in the crafting and glazing that make each work unique.

To participate:

1. If you'd just like to support our effort to raise funds for World Central Kitchen without purchasing a bowl, please make a donation directly to this GoFundMe page. Please be as generous as you can. (It's a great cause and the money goes directly to the organization!)

2. To purchase a bowl, please first visit our Empty Bowls Google Site

3. Once you choose a bowl and know the amount you'd like to donate, then donate directly to this GoFundMe page. Write in the Comment Box (on this GoFundMe page) which bowl you have purchased, identifying it by title: "I'd like to claim the Spin Cycle bowl!" If you're the first one to claim that bowl, it's YOURS! Otherwise, you can choose a different bowl.

4. If you don't see the Comment Box, please just email Ms. Jellinghaus. [Just to clarify, I'll be writing your first name under the "SOLD!" comment, so you know it's yours. Again, if you see someone else's name there, please choose a different bowl.]

5. Bowl pick up will be outside on tables in front of the high school, theater entrance, on May 20 and 21st (Monday and Tuesday), outside of the Auditorium Lobby. We will use an honor system for pick up. You can just swing by to pick up your labeled bowl. Please remember the name of your bowl!

Thank you so much for participating!

And enjoy your beautiful, handmade, ceramic bowl!
