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.
