Franklin Square Gallery, the Associated Artists of Southport, has begun its year long effort for Empty Bowls on
October 14, 2025!
Our Artists are busy creating one of a kind bowls to support the Empty Bowls mission to "eliminate hunger in our communities
ONE BOWL at a time". ​
What is Empty Bowls…
The "Empty Bowls Project" is an international grassroots effort to
raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger
An empty bowl is a reminder of individuals who go hungry everyday. This simple gesture and act of kindness allows you to make a difference. A meal of donated soup and bread is served. Participants take home a hand crafted ceramic bowl as a reminder of those facing food insecurity in Brunswick County.
Your purchase of a sponsorship or ticket helps
fill a neighbors’ Empty Bowl.
​​
All proceeds support Mathew’s Ministry, Brunswick Assistance and Southport, Oak Island Food Pantry. ​
​Silent auction and raffle on day of event.
