“Empty Bowls” is an international project to fight hunger, personalized on a community level. “Empty Bowls” allows participants to create and donate bowls, then serve a simple meal. On the day of the event, guests choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. In exchange for the meal, and the bowl, guests contribute a suggested minimum donation. One hundred percent of each meal's proceeds are devoted to local hunger-fighting organizations; in our case, the Patrick County Food Bank.
