The Austin Empty Bowl Project is an effort by Austin area potters to fight hunger. Always the Sunday before Thanksgiving proceeds benefit the children’s programs of the Central Texas Food Bank and Meals on Wheels Central Texas.

The public is invited to select a bowl ($25 each), choose from several gourmet soups, and enjoy lunch while listening to live music. Take the bowl home with you to remind you that others have empty bowls.
