“Empty Bowls” is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and service organizations on a community level.
Events are currently held in many areas in the United States and Canada, often in conjunction with the United Nations sponsored World Food Day, October 16th.

Guests choose a bowl to use that day and pick a soup donated by local restaurants to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in our community.

In exchange for the meal, and the bowl, guests contribute a $15.00 donation. One hundred percent of each meal's
proceeds benefit The Food Bank of Manatee.
