Empty Bowls: Stop Hunger!
Hackley students and faculty across all three divisions made bowls in this week's Empty Bowls event, part of a collaboration with the Clay Art Center in Port Chester to raise money and awareness of hunger and food insecurity in Westchester County.
The bowls will be sold at a pot luck lunch in Rye NY. later this spring. All of the money raised will be donated to local food pantries and soup kitchens.
Approximately 200,000 people, or 21% of Westchester County residents are hungry or at risk of hunger, including 60,000 food insecure children.
Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement by artists and crafts people in cities and towns around the world to care for and feed the hungry in their communities. Empty Bowls supports food-related charitable organizatinos around the world, and has raised millions of dollars to help end hunger. For more information please visit
