Piedmont College art professor Brian Hitselberger, left, presents a donation of $2,000 to Jeff Hudgens, director of the Cornelia Soup Kitchen, surrounded by many of the Piedmont freshmen who helped raise money through a recent “Empty Bowls” event.
Students from the Demorest and Athens campuses made ceramic bowls and provided entertainment for a fund-raising dinner to support the Soup Kitchen. Hudgens said the Kitchen expects to serve up to 350 people at a Thanksgiving Dinner to be served Nov. 26 at the Cornelia First Baptist Church.
