About
Oxford Empty Bowls
Visit the OxfordEmptyBowls.org website to learn more.
Entrance Donation: At the luncheon, each guest gives a donation of $15. Children 10 and under eat for free (handmade bowl not included).
Your donation provides you with a lunch of homemade soup, bread, a beverage, and dessert — as well as a handmade or hand-decoaorated bowl of your choice to take home.
Guests keep their bowls as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world.
100% of all receipts are given directly to our beneficiaries; every single penny, every single year, goes directly to the hunger relief organizations we support to be used toward alleviating hunger in the Oxford community.
Oxford Empty Bowls is supported by volunteers from the greater Oxford and Miami communities.
Empty Bowls is an international hunger relief effort, though all activities and events occur at the local, or grass-roots, level. The event was started in 1990 by a Michigan art teacher named John Hartom who was looking for a creative way to involve his students in a local food drive. Before long, the idea of Empty Bowls spread, and Empty Bowls events are now held all across the United States and in twenty different countries, raising millions of dollars worldwide toward hunger relief.
