Empty Bowls
Started in 1990, Empty Bowls is an international initiative to fight hunger, personalized by organizations on a community level. With soup and bread prepared by local restaurants and a handmade bowl (yours to keep!) crafted by students in fourth grade, eighth grade and Upper School, the event serves as both a reminder of the food insecurity faced by over 44 million people in the United States alone and a fundraiser aimed at providing over 30,000 meals to individuals here in central New Jersey. Over the past seven Empty Bowls events, the PDS community has been able to provide over 190,000 meals to those in need.
