We have a similar program here in Greensboro, NC. If you are local to
this area, let me know if you want to participate.

We also have an Empty Bowls project every year here in Phoenix. We have
raised almost $50,000 for local charities for the hungry in the last four
years.
Anyone who wishes to participate in this area can contact me at:

PS: there are three sale dates for the bowls in our area, all during October

Hi Elaine,
Regarding the empty bowls dinner this is how it's done here in Bloomington,
Indiana.
People contact local potters and ceramic students. Each contribute aprox.
ten bowls. They can be wheel thrown or hand built. Glazes used must be food
safe. Vats of soup and breads are donated by area restuarants. Tickets sell
for 15.00 each. Participants pass by tables stacked with bowls, choose one,
fill it up with their choice of soup, dine at set up tables and socialize to
the sounds of some local music. Each person takes their bowl home to remind
them of the hundreds/thousands of bowls that go empty every day. Checks are
donated to the local food bank.
Hope that helps.
