In order to protect the health of our potters, staff and community, the Empty Bowls event has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 9, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Denson Drive Recreation Center. Bowls are still available for purchase at Denson. Each bowl includes a ticket to the event with all proceeds going directly to the Food Bank of East Alabama.
ABOUT EMPTY BOWLS
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger that was initially created by The Imagine Render Group in 1991. The basic premise is simple: Local and regional potters, craftspeople and educators work to create hundreds of handcrafted bowls for each Empty Bowls event. Guests are then invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests can keep their bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in our communities. 100% of the money raised during each Empty Bowls event is donated to the East Alabama Community Food Bank.
