Empty Bowls is a unique and memorable event that celebrates community and creativity, while bringing awareness to the very real local problem of hunger.

Join us anytime from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. for a simple, delicious meal and good cheer. You can also take your soup to go!

You select a beautiful bowl handcrafted by local potters and enjoy a seasonal meal of soup, bread, salad, and dessert donated by local restaurants. The keepsake bowl is yours to take home as a reminder of the bowls that go empty in western Massachusetts, as well as the inspiring work you are supporting, ending hunger in our community.

Event proceeds support our food and nutrition programs, which serve more than 6,000 food-insecure residents of Hampshire and Franklin Counties.

Cash Bar: Beer, wine, and soft drinks will be available at a cash-only bar.

At the event, you can further support the Center by:

• Purchasing raffle tickets for a chance to win a unique handcrafted item, wine basket, event tickets, and more.
• Purchasing a NEW Empty Bowls apron (picture coming soon)
• Leaving a tip for our volunteer waitstaff that’s donated to the Center

Parking: Free parking is available in the Amherst College Alumni Lot on Spring Street behind the Inn on Boltwood. Street parking and Town parking lots are also available.
