Empty Bowls Dinner
to benefit
those suffering from poverty in the
Baltimore Community
Artists needed for donations of handmade ceramic bowls and serving pieces
An important source of funding for helping our community is our yearly fundraiser - The Empty Bowls Dinner. Artists and students create ceramic bowls. Restaurants donate soup and bread. Guests are invited to a simple soup and bread supper. They choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. This year, the Empty Bowls Dinner will be held on Saturday, March 7th from 3-7 pm at the College of Notre Dame Doyle Hall Cafeteria, 4701 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21210.
We are currently seeking donations of first-quality, handmade pottery bowls from artists, high school classes and college students. Specifically, we are requesting soup or cereal size bowls that are glazed and fired to be able to use for serving food. Our goal is to gather 1200 bowls for this event. We are also requesting a few larger size pieces such as serving bowls or platters to be donated for a Silent Auction, which will be held at the dinner.
