5th Annual Empty Bowls

Empty Bowls is an annual event that brings the community together through art, a bowl of soup and the desire to help in the struggle against hunger. For just $25, guests enjoy a meal of soup and bread, and take home hand-made ceramic bowls created by local artists. The beautiful bowls, which are a highlight of the event, are a reminder of the 680,000 empty bowls in our region. The unique bowls make great gifts, so don’t miss the opportunity to get an early start on holiday shopping.

Guests will also savor in a variety of delectable soups, all generously donated by area restaurants. So join us in the heart of Dupont Circle for lunch and help nourish our community one bowl at a time.
