On April 5th, 2025, we held our annual Empty Bowl Project to raise awareness for those whose bowls remain empty. With an attendance of over 800 people, we were able to raise $127,483 with the goal of raising $150,000. Even if you missed it, you can support those individuals whose bowls remain empty by making a donation.
This event has brought together over 1,400 Alaskans who come to enjoy soup and cornbread prepared by the chefs and clients at Bean’s Cafe, hand crafted bowls donated by the community, a silent auction, and most importantly learning about our mission of feeding the hungry in Anchorage. This is a grass roots event that helps raise money for Bean’s Cafe and The Children’s Lunchbox and reminds others of all the empty bowls in our community.
In order to raise awareness for this event, it starts with the bowls. We wouldn’t be able to host this community wide event without our inspiring, creative and authentic BOWL artists. Thank you to Turnagain Ceramics, Rabbit Creek Studio, Alaska Woodturners Association and Eagle River High School for your continued support and donations of bowls. We’re so excited to have you all a part of this year’s Empty Bowl Project.
