Feed the hungry by purchasing unique handmade ceramic bowls made by over 50 Clay Art Center artists. All proceeds will be given to soup kitchens and food pantries in Port Chester, NY.

Clay Art Center is raising awareness about food insecurity and hunger in Westchester during our bi-annual Empty Bowls fundraiser. For the past 20 years, Clay Art Center has mobilized hundreds of community members and artists to create thousands of handmade ceramic bowls in partnership with the Rye Presbyterian Church. Join us at the Empty Bowls fundraiser held at Rye Presbyterian Church on March 29, at 11 am to purchase beautifully crafted bowls made by more than 50 Clay Art Center artists. Take home a unique bowl and enjoy warm and comforting soup donated by Plates Catering, free with your purchase of a bowl. Together, with Rye Presbyterian Church and a host of volunteers, we have raised over $75,000 in the fight to end hunger in Westchester County.

Clay Art Center Executive Director, Emily Peck shares, “We are proud to participate in Empty Bowls as our way of giving back to the Port Chester Community by raising money to support local food pantries. Please join us by purchasing a handcrafted bowl, enjoying some soup and contributing to help families in need in Port Chester.”

As part of Clay Art Center’s partnership with Rye Presbyterian Church for this community service, Clay Art Center provides the church’s youth group with a free workshop, where the children have the opportunity to make bowls that will be offered up for sale at the fundraiser. You can find these alongside the handmade bowls by CAC's artists. The youth group also helps run the event by creating the signs, helping to set up, and collecting the money for the bowl sales.

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger. For more information please visit www.emptybowls.net.
