Want to Address Hunger in PDX? Volunteer at Empty Bowls 2019!

Save to Favorites

On April 5th at the Multnomah Arts Center, Neighborhood House will hold the fourth annual Empty Bowls Soup Dinner as part of the SW Hope: Feed the Hungry drive. Our event is inspired by the Empty Bowls Project, an international movement to end hunger. It involves artists creating and donating bowls to an organization that hosts an Empty Bowls Soup Dinner wherein guests purchase the bowls, fill them with soup, and keep them as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. Proceeds from our event go straight to our Emergency Food Box program, the largest food pantry on Portland's West Side and one that is entirely community supported.

This year's event is sponsored by New Seasons Market and will feature soup from New Seasons Market, Portland Kettle Company, Seasons and Regions Seafood Grill, Verde Cocina, Otto & Anita's Bavarian Restaurant, and more!

We expect to draw 150-200 guests, and will work with nearly 40 volunteers throughout the day. To learn more and sign-up for a shift, visit bit.ly/emptybowls2019!
