Event Information

We will return to the MACC for 2009.

How to get your empty bowl and fill it with soup.

1. Choose your favorite bowl from the thousands of handmade bowls donated by area potters and students.

2. Pay for your bowl(s).  It's $15 per bowl. Make checks payable to the Capital Area Food Bank.  We prefer cash or check if possible, though credit cards will be accepted (Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover).

3. Get your new bowl washed before you get soup.

4. Get your bowl filled with soup and bread from some of Austin's finest restaurants.

5. Enjoy your soup while listening to local, live music.

6. Check out the Austin Empty Bowl t-shirts. They're just $10 each and help cover the cost of the event. Make checks payable to the Capital Area Food Bank.

7. Check out the Quilt by Nancy Elder! Quilt drawing tickets are $1.00 each. The drawing is at 3 p.m. 

8. Bid on a celebrity bowl in the silent auction area.

9. Have your bowl cleaned and wrapped up to take home with you.
