All funds raised from this event will support the Weekend Backpack Program, which provides meals and snacks to kids experiencing food insecurity every weekend of the school year. Empty Bowls serves as a reminder of the 1 in 5 children facing hunger in southwest Missouri. You can purchase beautiful bowls and walk away with a feel-good keepsake knowing you helped end hunger for kids in southwest Missouri.

Shop for bowls online September 25 – October 1, or stop by the in-person event for an exclusive collection at Panera on S. Campbell Ave. on Thursday, October 2 from 3-7 p.m. The first 250 donors (online or in-person) will receive free soup and bread from Panera while supplies last.
