Empty Bowls Detroit hosts an event each year that we so cleverly call “Empty Bowls Detroit”. The purpose of the event is to r ... aise money and awareness for the food program at Cass Community Social Services (CCSS), a Detroit-based agency dedicated to providing food, housing, health services, and job programs to those in need in the City of Detroit. Attendees of the event enjoy soup and bread generously donated by restaurants around metro Detroit, in addition to tasty cheese and crackers, fruit and desserts donated by local grocers and merchants. While socializing and feasting, attendees wander through tables of hand-painted bowls in search of that one bowl that they want to take home as a reminder that someone’s bowl is always empty. All of these bowls are generously donated and decorated by members of the community. Empty Bowls Detroit began in 2002 with a youth group of vacation church campers at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church that painted 100 bowls and raised $500. Each and every year since then, our charity continues to grow. Last year, 11 years since we began, Empty Bowls Detroit attracted more than 600 attendees and raised more than $35,000 for CCSS. None of this would be possible without our generous volunteers, donors and sponsors. All of our ‘personnel’ are unpaid volunteers and we are proud to declare that 100% of all net proceeds are passed on to CCSS for the purpose of feeding others. We are looking forward to even greater success at this year’s event which will be held on March 9, 2018. If you’ve never been to one of our events, you should come… it’s truly a lot of fun. And if you have been to our event in the past, we suspect you’ll be back and we look forward to seeing you again and we thank you for your support.
