San Juan College Charity Bowl Sale

Looking for the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for person on your Christmas list? Try a hand-made, one-of-a-kind ceramic creation from the Charity Bowl Sale at the San Juan College. The sale will be held on Thursday, November 20th, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Friday, November 21st, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, in the Henderson Fine Arts Center's 9000 meeting rooms, located on the San Juan College main campus.

Now celebrating more than 21 years of giving back, the Charity Bowl Sale continues a proud tradition of combining art, education, and community service. Proceeds from this year’s sale will once again benefit Tres Rios Habitat for Humanity®, a nonprofit organization selected by the pottery students. Last year’s event raised an impressive $10,000 to support the group’s mission of providing simple, decent housing in partnership with families in need. In addition to building homes, Tres Rios Habitat for Humanity® operates a local Habitat store where community members can volunteer or donate household items to be sold in support of the organization’s work.

A highlight of the event is the hand-crafted ceramic bowls made by SJC students and staff, each available for $15. With every bowl purchased, guests will receive a complimentary serving of hot, delicious soup from Mary’s Kitchen. Beyond the bowls, attendees can browse a wide array of other items, including Christmas ornaments, paintings, jewelry, pottery, scarves, beadwork, and more!

The Annual Charity Bowl Sale presents a perfect opportunity to embody the spirit of giving, support local community initiatives, and discover one-of-a-kind, handmade art. For more information, contact Don Ellis at 505-566-3486.
