“Empty Bowls” is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and art organizations on a community level. Reno/Sparks Event is hosted by The Community Food Pantry to raise funds to support our program. Bowls are painted by members of the community at large. The bowls are then auctioned at the event where a simple soup and salad dinner is served by local Dignitaries and Celebrities.
