In 2024, we celebrate twenty-two years of coming together as a community in the fight against hunger. We are thrilled to once again host the Oxford Empty Bowls benefit soup luncheon on the second Saturday in November in the beautiful Oxford Community Arts Center (10 S. College Avenue).
We invite you to join us for homemade soup, bread and desserts.
Cost is $15 per person. Children 10 and under eat free (ceramic bowls not included; compostable bowls provided for dining). Proceeds will be donated to Talawanda Oxford Pantry & Social Services (TOPSS) and other area organizations to support efforts to provide food to local people in need.
To further support our mission, we welcome you to sign up to give your time or talent in service to our effort. Read on for more information about service opportunities.
How it works: At the luncheon, guests choose from a collection of beautiful bowls created, decorated and donated by Miami University and Talawanda High School students and local potters, artists and residents. Their bowls are then filled with their choice of soups made by local cooks. Luncheon guests then keep their bowls to use or display at home and to serve as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. Homemade bread and desserts, and beverages donated by local businesses will also be served.
