What is Empty Bowl Hawaii
Empty Bowl Hawai‘i in Honolulu is more than just an event. It’s a powerful, community-centered experience where art, food, and purpose come together to support food security and end hunger across the islands. Upon arrival, guests are invited to select a one-of-a-kind ceramic bowl, handcrafted by local artists, students, and potters. This bowl serves as both a keepsake and a symbol—a tangible reminder that for too many in our communities, an empty bowl is a daily reality. With bowl in hand, guests can redeem tickets for a variety of delicious soups thoughtfully prepared by some of Hawai‘i’s most celebrated chefs, alongside other tasty bites. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of aloha, encouraging meaningful connections among guests.
I am honored to be one of the Honolulu pottery partners, sponsoring 50 handcrafted bowls for this meaningful event. I hope to see you at this special event. It’s a wonderful opportunity to support a great cause, collect handmade pottery bowls, and experience the spirit of aloha.
