Empty Bowls Fundraiser 2025
Empty Bowls is a grassroots, worldwide movement led by artists and craftspeople to help fight hunger in our communities. The concept is simple yet powerful: create and donate handcrafted bowls, serve a humble meal, and raise funds to support local food charities.
In Southern Nevada, our local Empty Bowls fundraiser is a collaboration between Silverado High School, the Nevada Clay Guild, and many generous artists and volunteers. All proceeds benefit Three Square, Southern Nevada’s only food bank and largest hunger relief organization.
