What is Empty Bowls
Each year, the Empty Bowl Committee partners with Ogres-Holm Pottery and Friends-In-Service- Helping (FISH) to raise money to fight food insecurity in our community. Throughout the year, potters and artisans work with the community to create and donate handcrafted ceramic bowls. Each bowl sold provides a meal for as many as 5 people. All event proceeds going to FISH food programs.
Enjoy a meal with your neighbor and take home a bowl as a reminder that there are empty bowls out in our community.
