#EmptyBowls is a national grassroots event that raises money for hunger relief. This unique event invites the public to “eat simply, so others can simply eat.” Old School Bakery provide rustic breads and 30 local chefs donate their signature soups, all served by local celebrities.
Guests share in a simple meal of bread, soup, and water. Each receive a hand-crafted bowl to take home as a powerful reminder of all the empty bowls in the community. Local schools (including American Heritage School, Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School, Gulf Stream, FAU, Palm Beach State, and Pine Crest) create bowls to sell during the event.
All proceeds from this fundraising event benefit the Palm Beach County Food Bank to fight hunger right here in our community.
THE NEED IS REAL:
Over 100,000 children in the Palm Beach County school district receive a FREE breakfast or lunch at school because there isn’t food in their home. (more than 62% of all children qualify).
At least 180,000 adults in Palm Beach County qualify as poor by federal guidelines.
1 in 6 Palm Beach County residents DOES NOT KNOW where they are going to get their next meal.
