Join the Fight Against Hunger: The Empty Bowls Project

Be the change you wish to see by participating in the Empty Bowls Project, an international crafts-based effort to combat hunger. Since its inception in 1990 at Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School in Detroit, MI, this project has touched over 100 countries, helping communities by providing meals to families in need. Local efforts, such as the Douglas County Food Shelf, serve dozens of families weekly, and your support can make an immense difference. Gather your creativity, form a team, and help us fill the empty bowls of those struggling in our community. Together, we can end hunger!
