Empty Bowls Hopkinton NH is part of an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and art organizations on a community level. The money raised is donated to soup kitchens, food banks and other organizations fighting hunger locally.
Empty Bowls is an event where you can help alleviate hunger in our Mt Dora community. We will gather the weekend before Mothers Day in Donnelly Park, where you can purchase a beautiful, locally handcrafted bowl. Local restaurants will join us & provide a scrumptious soup for your new bowl! The best part is that every penny you spend on this event will go directly to support Lake Cares Food Pantry, making your meal even more meaningful.
The first Tempe Empty Bowls occurred in February 2002 after nearly a year of planning. Founding members of the steering committee were faith organizations interested in acting on their beliefs to care for the hungry. Tempe Community Council lent guidance and counsel as the early programs were developed; they brought on board Tempe Union High School District, City of Tempe, Tempe Elementary, and Whole Foods. In 2007 the sponsoring agency became Tempe Community Action Agency which has added vitality and energy to this project. Proceeds from the sale of the bowls are split between TCAA and United Food Bank. After the 20th anniversary event in 2022, organization of Tempe Empty Bowls was passed off to the TCAA Emerging Leaders Committee.
