HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - Marshall University ceramics students are conducting an annual fundraiser next week to help feed needy families.
The 18th annual Empty Bowls event will take place in person April 30 at Pullman Square in Huntington, the university said in a news release. Masks are required at the event and social distancing will be observed.
