Tenth Annual Empty Bowls at Oakton Fundraiser

For a donation of $14, participants select a distinctive handcrafted
bowl and eat a simple meal of soup and bread as a reminder that
“someone’s bowl is always empty.” The event includes a raffle
drawing for ceramic art work, as well as larger art pieces. All
proceeds benefit local food charities.

Sponsored by the Ceramics Club at Oakton, and supported by the
College’s Student Government Association, Empty Bowls is a
nonprofit, global movement that has raised millions of dollars for
food banks, soup kitchens, and other meal programs. In 2012, this
event at Oakton sold more than 1,400 bowls and raised nearly $30,000
for local food pantries.
