Thanks to a record setting auction and raffle, generous sponsors, devoted artists and hundreds of people buying tickets for an event that didn’t happen, we’re excited to announce that we are filling empty bowls. Virtual Empty Bowls McKinney 2020 raised over $72,000!

This unique annual event features a showcase of over 1,000 one-of-a-kind bowls handcrafted by professional and student artists. Guests come to share a sampling of gourmet soups, breads, and sweets that have been lovingly prepared by chefs from local restaurants. They take home one of these empty bowls as a reminder of all the empty bowls due to hunger in the local community.
Proceeds of the event go to Community Lifeline Center to help stock their Lifeline Market.
