IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Due to health concerns surrounding the ongoing surge in Covid-19 cases in our area, we feel that the Empty Bowls dinner event for the night of September 23rd should be postponed for now. We would like to point out that we are extending our lunchtime offering so that, in addition to providing workplace lunch delivery for groups placing orders of 5 or more lunches, we are also going to be providing curbside pickup at St. James United Methodist church with no minimum order restrictions. We are asking that people looking to do curbside pickup place their orders online by September 21st. We will be taking lunch orders on-site from your car at St. James on the day of the 23rd, but those orders will be limited to the soup that is available at that time. We will also have Empty Bowls T-shirts available at St. James for those who would like to purchase one. Again, we apologize for the short notice, but we felt that this choice was in the best interest of public safety. We thank you for your support, and look forward to having dinner in the ballroom in 2022! |
Empty Bowls 2021
We are excited to announce that Empty Bowls event will be taking place in Bowling Green in 2021! After a year of staying inside and away from crowds, you are probably looking forward for a chance to get out, meet others, and make a difference. In the interest of public health, we have decided to move Empty Bowls to September 23rd this year, at the Sloan Convention Center. This site will be updated with more details as the date approaches. We look forward to seeing all of you in September and hope you join us in helping to see that no one faces an empty bowl at mealtime.
Empty Bowls works with artists and members of the community to help raise funds and awareness to end hunger in our communities.
Once again, for the upcoming event, we will be asking area potters (professionals, amateurs, and students) to make bowls throughout the upcoming months to donate to our event. Last year, through the hard work of volunteers we were able to display over 1000 hand crafted bowls, and we are hoping, that with the involvement of both student and adult volunteers to have even more beautiful bowls for our guests to choose from on the night of the big event. On the night of the big event, the public will once more be invited to attend our Empty Bowls benefit dinner. It doesn't matter if you made a bowl or not. Everyone is invited. On the night of the event each person attending will be asked to make a minimum donation of $15. Each guest may then select a bowl from the many beautiful bowls created by our area artists. They are then served a simple meal of soup, beverage and a dessert. After the meal, each person gets to take the bowl home with them. It makes a beautiful addition to their home, and also serves as a reminder that there are many empty bowls in our community that go unfilled each day.
All funds from the event are donated to area charities which focus on providing food to those who are hungry. All money raised in the upcoming event is going to be distributed to area food pantries to help them get food to our friends and neighbors in need.
If you would like more information about our event, or would like to contribute, please visit our contact page and fill out the form and someone will contact you as soon as possible. Working together, through simple acts of kindness, we can make a tremendous difference in the lives of all those around us.
