Empty Bowls

The Oregon Potters Association coordinates Empty Bowls, a fund-raiser to benefit Oregon Food Bank and its work to eliminate hunger and its root causes … because no one should be hungry.

OPA is a group of creative potters working in Oregon and southwest Washington. The association collects pottery donations from its members throughout the year and sells them—most for just $10—at the Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival.

During the 2006 blues festival, Empty Bowls raised $13,848 for Oregon Food Bank. Since 1993, Empty Bowls has raised a total of $184,830.

Thank you, members of Oregon Potters Association!
