IT'S BACK-COME JOIN US! THE EMPTY BOWLS PROJECT AT JOLIET JR. COLLEGE!

Empty Bowls is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and art organizations on a community level. At Joliet Junior College, Empty Bowls is a collaborative project where community members can come together to share a meal and support students facing food insecurities.

Your donation of $15 will provide you the opportunity to pick a beautiful handmade bowl, as well as enjoy a simple meal of soup, bread, and drink.

JJC potters, including JJC students and employees, have donated their time to make bowls and to make this event possible!

*Hosted by JJC Fine Arts Department, Office of Student Activities and Wellness, Culinary Arts Department & JJC Foundation. All proceeds go to JJC students for food insecurities through the JJC Micro Pantry and the Student Emergency Fund.
