Empty Bowls Event at Concordia University Aimed at Stomping Out Local Hunger

Students and faculty at Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW), along with local artists, are teaming up to fight local hunger. On Tuesday, November 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Falcon's Nest on Concordia’s Mequon campus, an event known as Empty Bowls is taking place.

For a $5 donation, anyone may come and pick out a handmade ceramic bowl donated by artists, along with meat and veggie chili and breads provided graciously by Sodexo, CUW’s food vendor.

This is the second annual event with 100% of the proceeds going to fight hunger in the Milwaukee area. The co-curricular Art Guild group on Concordia’s campus is sponsoring the event and the goal is to hold a similar event in the spring.

“This is a phenomenal way for artists to use their creativity to serve others,” said Sarah Schempf, CUW senior and president of the Art Guild.
