Turning Bowls into Hope

Celebrating Community and Compassion

Empty Bowls Puerto Peñasco is a proud part of an internationally recognized grassroots movement of ceramic artists working to combat hunger through creativity and compassion. Our mission is simple but powerful: to raise funds and provide resources and assistance to those facing food insecurity in our community. Each handcrafted bowl and every community event represents our mission.

In Puerto Peñasco, seasonal job layoffs create significant economic hardship, compounded by unpredictable challenges like border closings, and reduced tourism. Recognizing this, we introduced the Empty Bowls concept in February 2024 to provided critical relief during a time of great need. It was a moment of solidarity, and its success showcased our commitment to addressing immediate food insecurity and laid the foundation for further events, opportunities to partner with local businesses, and support for the local food bank and city family services.

Your generosity is the heart of this mission. Our work continues because of your support. Every $20 contribution directly funds local food purchases and distributions, proving that small acts of kindness can create lasting change, ensuring that children, seniors, and families in Puerto Peñasco receive the help they need.

We believe in the power of community. With your help, we are building a tradition of neighbors helping neighbors, ensuring every neighbor has food on their table and that no one in Puerto Peñasco has to face hunger alone. Every contribution goes to providing vital support to neighbors in need. Together, we can turn empty bowls into a symbol of hope and compassion.
