Empty Bowls Project-Carefree Town Center

The Tenth Annual Foothills Empty Bowl Event will take place Friday, October 22, 2010 from 11 am to 1:30 pm at the Carefree Town Center. For a minimum $15 donation, lunch guests will enjoy a delicious meal prepared by Carefree Resort & Villas and also take home a unique bowl of their choice which is hand-crafted by members and friends of the Sonoran Arts League.


The Empty Bowls Project, an international effort to fight hunger, was started in the fall of 1990 by two potters in Michigan to help raise money for a Thanksgiving fund drive for a local food bank. Since then, the idea has spread around the United States and all over the world.

This is a great way to get the local community involved, by making bowls and then coming together to share a meal. It’s a reminder of how many people are struggling to put food on their table. Taking home one of the bowls will serve as a lasting momento of world hunger - which starts right here in our community.

100% of the proceeds from the lunch will be donated to the Foothills Bank & Resource Center and will be used to support their ongoing effort to provide emergency food and services to area families in need of assistance.

Have lunch, feed the hungry and keep the bowl!
