Join Clay Art Center at Rye Presbyterian Church to help fight food insecurity in our community!
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots movement addressing hunger. For more than 25 years, Clay Art Center has mobilized hundreds of community members and artists to create thousands of handmade ceramic bowls. Together, with Rye Presbyterian Church and a host of volunteers, over $80,000 to date has been raised in the fight to end food insecurity in Westchester County.
