| Welcome to the New Mexico Potters and Clay Artists |
Thank You for Making This Year's Empty Bowls Our Biggest Yet! Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Empty Bowls! We had our biggest turnout yet and raised a record-breaking $31,187 to benefit The Storehouse New Mexico! The Storehouse can turn every $1 donated into five meals. That means, together, we raised enough to provide more than 155,000 meals to individuals and families in our community. What an incredible impact! A Record Number of Bowls! Thanks to the generosity of our talented potters and bowl donors, we started with 1,030 bowls at our initial collection and received approximately 400 more leading up to the event, bringing our final total to 1,438 bowls! Thank you to all of our amazing potters and bowl donors for helping make this possible! It Takes a Community The success of Empty Bowls would not be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, potters, local restaurants, chefs, volunteers, hosts, organizing committee, and everyone who came out to purchase a bowl and share lunch with us. We are so grateful for this community and the generosity that makes Empty Bowls such a meaningful event year after year. Thank you for helping us make a difference, one bowl and one meal at a time! |
