“Empty Bowls” is an international project to fight hunger, personalized on a community level. The concept for Empty Bowls is simple. Participating artists create and donate handmade bowls, then serve a simple meal. 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 give a suggested minimum donation. The meal's proceeds are given to local hunger-fighting organizations, in this case Second Harvest Heartland (http://www.2harvest.org/).
This will be Saint Paul's 1st Empty Bowls event, so let's make it a good one.
It is coming up soon, so I need your help. Anything you can offer, anything at all will be of the best gift you can give the community. Here are a few suggestions:
- Soup
- Spoons
- Handmade bowls suitable for food (can be pottery, glass, or whatever)
- Event space for 1 night, 4 hours on October 16th
- Coffee and cups
- Bread and butter
- Stock pots and cookers
- Napkins
- Tickets
- Advertising materials
- Money
- Gift Certificates
Thank you for considering to donate. I look forward to hearing from you.
