About this Event

Empty Bowl Hawai'i is a powerful gathering where artists, chefs, and the community unite to support food security and the fight against hunger. This one-of-a-kind event transforms empty bowls into vessels of hope and connection, bringing together thousands of handcrafted bowls and dishes prepared by Hawai'i's most talented chefs.

As guests explore the event, they will have the opportunity to select from thousands of beautiful, hand-thrown bowls created by local potters from the Hawaii Potters Guild—each one a lasting reminder that hunger persists and that an empty bowl is a reality for many.

This isn't just another fundraiser—it's a movement to strengthen connections between people, food, farmers, and well-being. Empty Bowl Hawai'i brings together Chef Hui, Aloha Harvest, and the Hawaii Potters Guild in collaboration to support food security efforts. While one in four keiki goes to bed hungry, thousands of pounds of food end up in landfills. Together, we're rescuing quality food, transforming ingredients into nutritious chef-crafted meals and meal kits, supporting local farmers, and empowering families with culinary skills—creating resilient food networks that nourish bodies and minds across our islands.
