Good Samaritan Ministries’ Empty Bowls Project returns for its 12
th year on Thursday, April 29, and like last year the event will follow a drive-through format. Bowls will be available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the GSM Food Warehouse, located at 305 Clark Street.
“Back in early January when we had to make a lot of decisions we were still in the middle of a virus surge,” said GSM Executive Director Leesa Stephens. “So our board felt that going ahead and doing another drive-by type event would be the easiest to manage. We usually start getting calls in December, people wanting to book a bowl painting party, but we only had two calls – one in December and one January. We felt that was a signal from the community that they recognized things weren’t really the same.”

During this time of year the Empty Bowls organization normally conducts a fundraiser for the good work they perform in assisting with the relief of hunger in our area. As chair of the Matamoras Area Food Pantry I am appreciative for their contributions to our organization. They have been a faithful donor in our efforts to help alleviate hunger in the Grandview Township area.
The fact is that 1 in 4 children struggle with hunger in Southeast Ohio. A report by the food banks of this area reveal this unacceptable statistic. For all age groups the numbers who are without reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food is 1 in 6.
