Joining us today is Erin Berard! Erin is from Haverhill, MA, and is attending Lasell University for her bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. She is currently in her third year at Lasell and has been a part of Empty Bowls for all three years. In her time, she has held the roles of treasurer, vice president, and now president on the club's executive board. Erin's volunteering centers on the work she does to fight food insecurity. The Empty Bowls Club raises money for Centre Street Food Pantry in Newton, MA. She started a sponsorship program in the Fall 2025 semester, which has allowed the club to raise greater amounts faster. Erin is working to find new and creative ways to raise more money through the Empty Bowls Club to benefit the Centre Street Food Pantry and the greater Newton area!
