St. Kate's Empty Bowl Events are open to ALL. Students, faculty, staff, administration, alumnae, family and friends. No previous experience is needed.
Our mission is to use the power of (making) art to create meaningful connections, build community, and create and inspire change.
Our Purpose is to make bowls as a way to raise both funds and awareness of food insecurity in our community. Since 2010 we have supported Open Arms of Minnesota and the work they do in our community. Recently, food insecurity has become an increasing problem on college campuses; To help mitigate food insecurity on our campus, we have added St Kate’s Food Access Hub as another recipient of funds from our project in 2021.
