The items in this auction are donated by local artists, businesses and individuals, and 100% of the proceeds go to El Caldito, a Las Cruces soup kitchen.

Empty Bowls was begun at a high school in Michigan in 1990. Students made bowls and soup, and had a sale with the proceeds going to a local food bank. Empty Bowls is now an international event coordinated by potters to raise awareness of world hunger. The Potters’ Guild of Las Cruces began Empty Bowls in 1993 and was the first in New Mexico. 100% of the proceeds from this auction go to our local soup kitchen, El Caldito at The Community of Hope.
