What if we told you you could enjoy soup season while helping your community? Enter: Empty Bowls.
What started as a grassroots initiative by a Michigan teacher in 1990 has grown to become an international campaign to fight food insecurity within communities.
Local nonprofits Scenic City Clay Arts + Be The Change Youth Initiative (BTCYI) brought the Empty Bowls project to Chattanooga in 2023 and are back for seconds.
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, folks are invited to The Signal to enjoy soups, salads, breads, and desserts from some of their local favorites like Mac’s Kitchen and Bar. 50% of sales will go toward helping parents prevent school food debt. Bonus: Your bowl will be a handmade ceramic piece crafted by local potters + students — and you get to take it home.
“This event is not just about raising money, it’s about bringing our community together to raise awareness and take action against hunger for our students,” said Founder and President of BTCYI Sydney Guerrette.
There are only 46 bowls remaining — find your place at the table.
