The 2025 Defiance College ‘Empty Bowls’ fund-raising event for the Path Center in Defiance established a new record this year. The backbone of this annual community service program is anchored in students of the Defiance College Social Work classroom of Tess Salisbury. This year’s event raised more than $16,000, which will help the Path Center provide meals for those struggling to make ends meet. Those same students will be helping to serve meals at the Path Center on May 6th.
