Since 1999, Milwaukee Empty Bowls has donated over $900,000 to help feed those in need in the Milwaukee metro area. More than 95% of the funds raised during this perennially popular event – held around World Food Day – go directly to aid the hungry in our community.
Guests at our October event have their choice from a collection of more than 2,000 bowls handcrafted and donated by local artists, teachers and students.
Soups prepared by local chefs are served with bread and other refreshments.
Some of the area’s top musicians entertain guests throughout the day.
Guests take their bowls home to serve as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in our community.
With the involvement and support of MSOE, local businesses and nearly 300 volunteers,proceeds from this year’s event will benefit several agencies in the Milwaukee area.
