Beacon of Hope is a nonprofit, serving low-income families in Madison and surrounding counties since 1997!

In 1990, Empty Bowls began with an art teacher organizing students to make ceramic bowls that would be the vessel for serving soup and bread at an event, with profits going towards a local charity. The grassroots movement by artists and crafts people has spread to cities and towns around the world to raise money for food related charities to care for and feed the hungry in their communities.

Pottery + Food + Music + Silent Auction

How it works:

You choose from a selection of pottery bowls at the event, we fill it with soup. There will be refreshments, bread, desserts, and music. Enjoy a meal with others in the community and talk with Beacon’s volunteers, board members, and staff. This year we are also having a SILENT AUCTION!

Silent Auction

Other pottery(vases, platters, mugs, etc. ), gift cards and items from local businesses. We will be advertising what is included in each Silent Auction ‘basket’ on our facebook page leading up to the event, stay tuned. If you want to bid on an item, but can’t attend the event, reach out to Lindsey (development@bohmarshall.org). The Silent Auction will end at 6:30 PM.
