Thank you for your interest in Empty Bowls!

Empty Bowls is a community meal with a purpose, raising funds in support of the Community Food Bank of NJ in Hillside. Guests purchase a ticket, receive a hand-crafted pottery bowl to keep, and enjoy a warm bowl of soup together.

This simple, shared meal is a powerful reminder that hunger is real - and that, together, we can help fill empty bowls in our community.
