Empty Bowls McKinney

A group of dedicated volunteers that work with local artisans, food purveyors and the city to create a unique event.

Our Mission

To hold an annual community event featuring local artisans and food purveyors that raises money and awareness to support non-profit organizations that directly address hunger in our community.

Annual event to raise money & awareness of food insecurity in our community.

This annual McKinney event features a showcase of handcrafted bowls made & decorated by professional & amateur artists. Guests enjoy a sampling of gourmet soups and light bites prepared by chefs from a variety of local food purveyors & restaurants. Each guest takes home an artisan bowl as a reminder of those who are hungry in our community. Proceeds of the event go to Community Lifeline Center to help provide food for their Community Lifeline Market & mobile food distributions, to Community Garden Kitchen to serve hot meals to anyone in need with no questions asked and to The Little Free Pantry of McKinney where people can find food anonymously as they need.
