Attendees will receive a handcrafted bowl along with soup, bread, and dessert. The bowls are created by members of the MSSU Clay Club and the university’s Department of Art and Design.
Tickets are $25 and include the first bowl and meal. Additional bowls are available for $15, and student tickets are $15.
The MSSU Lion Co-op provides resources and support to help ensure students have access to food and other basic necessities while pursuing their education.
