The Salt Lake annual fundraiser to feed the hungry enlists potters throughout the state to make and donate hundreds of handmade bowls. Artists use the opportunity to fine tune their craft, and try new ideas. We even get non-potters involved! Once the bowls are collected, Catholic Community Services of Utah and FFKR Architects host Empty Bowls, a fundraiser to benefit St. Vincent de Paul Dining Hall.

Always a great selection of handmade bowls
The 2025 Empty Bowls event will be held on September 12th at FFKR Architects with drinks, live music, and free food. No registration or ticket purchase is necessary. Handmade bowls will be available for purchase starting at $20. All beverage and bowl profits will benefit St. Vincent de Paul Dining Hall’s mission of feeding those in our community impacted by hunger.
ARTISTS: The bowl submission deadline is September 3rd. Donations can be dropped off at St. Vincent de Paul Dining Hall, located at 437 W 200 S in Salt Lake City. Please make your donation on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Most of our local studios and potteries are also gathering bowls. Ask your studio manger!
