Oxford Empty Bowls is a benefit soup luncheon that celebrates art and service as we bring together the works of Miami University students, Oxford area potters, artists young and old, and local cooks to raise much-needed funds for the Oxford Community Choice Food Pantry's programs that supply food to local families in need.

This year's Empty Bowls will be held on Saturday, November 10 from 11:00-2:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the Oxford United Methodist Church.

How it works: At the luncheon, guests choose from amongst a collection of beautiful bowls created, decorated and donated by Miami University students and Oxford area potters. 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.

Cost: $10; children 10 and under may choose and fill a bowl for free.
