The Culver City Rotary Club invites you to join them at an Empty Bowls event on Sunday, April 6, 2025 between the hours of 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm at the Culver-Palms United Methodist Church.

WHAT IS THE EMPTY BOWLS PROJECT?

Empty Bowls events are held around the world to raise funds for local food charities and educate people about issues of poverty and hunger in their community. Culver City Rotary's Empty Bowls Project raises awareness for providing FOOD SECURITY for those in need, which is a significant problem in our local community. Food Banks and Food Programs are taxed each week with a growing number of participants from those unhoused, unemployed or underemployed or facing a health crisis. This project is a symbolic representation of the lines that food insecure people stand in every day to meet their basic food needs. Funds raised through this event will benefit Grace Diner in Culver City.

YOU CAN HELP!

By purchasing a ticket, you'll sit down with other guests, eat soup, bread and dessert, with Culver City Rotary Club, local restaurants and artist partners. You will learn how your donation will help to fill the empty bowls of people less fortunate in our community. Then choose a beautiful artisan pottery bowl to bring home as a reminder to help fill the bowls of those less fortunate.

A limited number of tickets (150) will be sold for $30 each, or four tickets for $100. Proceeds and sponsorship donations will be given to Grace Diner, a 501(c)3 organization operating as a provider of food to those in need in Culver City.

SPONSORSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE TO ENHANCE THE CAUSE!

Corporate and personal sponsorships of various levels (from $500 to $2,000) are being accepted directly to the Culver City Rotary Community Foundation, and those funds will be issued directly to Grace Diner. If you or your company are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact us directly at culvercityrotary@gmail.com or call 847-644-3270 for more information.

Purchase your tickets now as we are planning on selling out for this fun and important event. Thank you in advance for your interest and support. We'll see you on April 6th!
