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". â€‹

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. â€‹

​Silent auction and raffle on day of event.
