UPDATE: The dress code for Empty Bowls is "come as you are". We'll most likely be wearing jeans, but if you're coming straight from work... con need to change unless you want to! See you tomorrow!

It's our third Empty Bowls event in Chattanooga... and we're planning for it to be our BEST yet!

Empty Bowls is a community-based fundraising event that uses art and food to support hunger in communities around the world. Our first year was all about bring the concept to life and with 55 people in attendance we raised over $3,000 for our community. Last year, the number of attendees jumped to 170 and together we raised over $20,000 for students and families accruing school food debt in Hamilton County.

This year, the need is even greater.

Only one month into the school year, the current school food debt is already at $14,000.

But, we're up for the challenge and couldn't do this important work without YOU!
