The basic idea of Empty Bowls is simple. Potters and others donate handcrafted bowls. Guests purchase tickets to a simple meal of soup, bread, and dessert. Each guest selects a handcrafted bowl to keep as a reminder of the empty bowls this event will help to fill. One hundred percent of each meal’s proceeds will be donated to local hunger-fighting organizations.
