Additional Information

Imagine how good helping people in need will taste at Empty Bowls 2018.
Empty Bowls Soup Feed Benefit & Silent Auction participants can show their support of the work hundreds of St. Cloud area students and volunteers who have made a new bowl just for them. Each Soup Feed attendee pays $10 (individual) or $30 (family) ($2.00 more at the door) and each person receives a handmade bowl, soup donated by a St. Cloud restaurant, bread, and a beverage, and enjoys a variety of entertainment.  
Attendees keep their "Benefactor Bowls" after the event as a reminder that someone else's bowl is always empty.

What is "Empty Bowls?"

Empty Bowls is an internationally recognized program designed to draw attention to the problem of hunger in the United States and the World. It is the brainchild of the Imagine/Render Group; a501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to positive and lasting social change through the arts, education, and projects that build the community. In 1990, a high school art teacher in Michigan helped his students solve a problem. They were searching for a creative way to raise funds to support a food drive. What evolved was a class project to make ceramic bowls for a fundraising meal. Guests were served a simple meal of soup and bread, and were invited to keep their bowls as a reminder of hunger in the world. By the following year, the originators had developed the concept into EMPTY BOWLS, a project to provide support for food banks, soup kitchens and other organizations that fight hunger. Since then, EMPTY BOWLS events have been held throughout the world, and millions of dollars have been raised to combat hunger.
