What is the Empty Bowls Project?

Empty Bowls began in 1990 as an art class project in a Michigan high school to raise funds for a food drive. Students made ceramic bowls, served a meal of soup and bread, and invited guests to keep the bowl as a reminder of hunger in the world.  By the following year, the Empty Bowls Project had grown to a 501(c)3 organization designed to promote the concept.

Since its inception, this simple project has evolved into a far-reaching program providing support for food banks, soup kitchens, and other organizations that fight hunger. Empty Bowls events have been held throughout the world, raising millions of dollars for use in combating hunger.

How does the Empty Bowls Program work?

• Come into Create Escape Studio and paint a ceramic bowl
• The finished and fired bowls will be displayed at a fundraising dinner on March 11th to Benefit Camella’s Cupboard Food Pantry. A simple meal of soup and bread will be served.
• At the dinner, guests will choose a bowl to keep as a reminder that there are always Empty Bowls in the world.
• Tickets to the dinner will be purchased in advance, with the fee covering the guest’s meal and a selected bowl.
• All proceeds from the March 11th dinner will go to Benefit Camella’s Cupboard of New Milford, CT to assist their mission to provide year-round hunger relief to children, seniors, and others in need in the Greater New Milford CT community.

*All Bowls painted at this event become the property of Camella's Cupboard as part of the Empty Bowls Fundraiser.
