Stouffer Place Apartments played host to a program this weekend to benefit the Jubilee Café, located in First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St., which provides breakfast for the homeless.
On Saturday, Stouffer residents painted ceramic bowls and will sell them in front of Wescoe Hall.
“Empty Bowls,” a program based in Burnsville, N.C., sponsors events that help combat hunger around the world.

Don Claus, a Stouffer resident assistant, said the Jayhawker Towers Tenants Association bought about 20 bowls from Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St.
David Jones, JTTA president, encouraged Jayhawker Towers and Stouffer RAs to use extra budget money to offer charitable activities for residents.
Each bowl will be sold for $6 on Wescoe Beach, but Claus did not know when Sunfire would have all the bowls fired and ready for sale.
Pedro Mateo, a graduate student from Guatemala, and his son Lwin painted bowls because Mateo thought it would be fun for his son, and to contribute to Jubilee Cafe.
Mateo and Lwin painted a detailed pattern on their bowls, and Mateo said they were trying “to paint the typical cloth from Guatemala.”
Claus said he had the program because there are a lot of children living in Stouffer. If it were only adults at the program, Claus said, it would be obvious that the bowls were painted by adults. He liked the spontaneous creativity that children had.
“I was hoping that they would bring a nice little variety,” Claus said.
