Empty Bowls is a hunger-fighting fundraiser, bringing people together for a simple but nourishing meal of soup, bread and fruit.

Soup is served in a hand-made bowl donated by a Quebec potter, which is yours to keep.

Les bols du partage, événement destiné à recueillir des fonds pour combattre la faim, rassemble les gens de cœur pour un repas simple et nourrissant : soupe, pain et fruits.

La soupe est servie dans un bol que vous choisissez et conservez et qui est la création originale d’un céramiste du Québec.

In 2010, the joint venture of Congregation Dorshei Emet and the Unitarian Church of Montreal on April 17 and 25 was a huge success.  Together, we raised $12,190 which was split equally between the NDG Food Depot, Dorshei Emet Hanukkah Food Basket Fund, Fondation Générations Foundation, Multi Caf and Santropol Roulant.

   NEW this year and adding to the success, an Empty Bowls cookbook, a raffle and a story writing contest. We were bowled over by your creativity. Read the three winning stories here!

   Thank you to everyone, especially the potters, musicians, bread- and soup-makers, and countless volunteers as well as the many local business who donated their goods or services. Together we are making a difference in our local community.

In 2009 Empty Bowls raised over $13,000 for Montreal's hungry

Again this year, the Unitarian Church of Montreal  joined forces with Congregation Dorshei Emet to make Empty Bowls — a project to raise money for the hungry — a great success.  On April 18, $6,500 was raised at the Unitarian Church by people who bought a hand-crafted bowl, enjoyed some soup and bread and listened to some great jazz. The following weekend, Empty Bowls raised more than $7,000 at Congregation Dorshei Emet. All the money is pooled to help the six Montreal beneficiaries that help the hungry.
