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.

"I know intuitively there's nothing I could have done to protect them," he told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "But it doesn't change the fact that, inside, I feel like I wanted to be able to do something."
DEKALB, Ill. — The police chief at Northern Illinois University replays the chaos over and over in his mind: sprinting, pistol in hand and reading glasses still on, through waves of screaming students at a lecture hall.
And he still wonders weeks later: could he have done more to prevent the deaths of five students when a former student opened fire in the crowded hall on Valentine's Day?
Grady has SWAT team training and has advised governments and militaries in war-torn countries, but the shooting, he said, was the "ugliest" test of his career.
Donald Grady remembers kneeling over the wounded and dying as the gunman's body lay on stage, dead of a gunshot wound.
On the day of the shooting, the 6-foot-5 Grady ran into the mayhem, scanning hands in the crowds for an escaping gunman. It took 90 seconds for the former star sprinter to cover the 400 yards between his office and the red-

At the entrance to Auditorium 101, Grady took point, two officers on his flank, one at his back, in diamond formation. He pulled open the door.

Criminology major Maria Ruiz-Santana, 20, had wounds to her chest, head and neck from a shotgun blast. She said Grady arrived and held her hand, talking to her to keep her from slipping into unconsciousness.
"If he didn't get there right away, I might well be dead," she said.
