The Empty Bowl Project is a national grassroots effort to
fight hunger. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other
craftspeople, educators and others work with the community
to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple
meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests
are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls
in the world. The money raised is donated to organizations
working to end hunger and food insecurity.
