Photo GalleryThe University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women’s volleyball team helped out with the Milwaukee Empty Bowls project recently.
The Panthers helped design bowls that will be sold at a fundraiser as part of the efforts to assist hunger programs in the Milwaukee area.
Empty Bowls is a grassroots effort to raise money and awareness in the fight to end hunger and food insecurity. Each group that participates in the Empty Bowls project works with their community to create their own event.
Milwaukee Empty Bowls started in 1999 with the same concept - to raise funds for food and hunger programs here in Milwaukee. Milwaukee Empty Bowls has a special fundraising event set for Oct. 9, with the event benefitting the Agape Community Center, The Cathedral Center, Friedens Community Ministries, Inc., Milwaukee Christian Center, The Gathering and Repairers of the Breach.
At the event on Oct. 9, attendees will get to select from over 2,000 original handcrafted bowls and sample soups and breads from over 50 local chefs. Proceeds from a donation ($20 minimum per bowl including the Grab Bag Express, four bowl limit per person and $10 Kids' Bowls, no limit) will benefit food pantries and meal programs in the greater Milwaukee area. The Grab Bag Express allows you to enter "fast track" line in which you can purchase a bowl that has been pre-selected for you. The bowls are to be taken home as a reminder that someone's bowl is always empty.
