Empty Bowls is a community event that helps ensure that fewer people in our community go home to an "empty bowl." Handmade ceramic bowls are created by individuals and organizations throughout the community. A simple donation will buy a beautiful bowl and a serving of bread and soup. Proceeds from the event support PRISM and NEAR, two food shelves that serve the Robbinsdale Area Schools community. See below for more information on participating in the community-wide bowl making events.
