Now — November

Empty Bowls Project Home EditionThe annual Empty Bowls Project, a fundraiser for Dripping Springs Helping Hands, returns for its 23rd Year with a new look and format (altered to adjust to current times). During the month of November, the Empty Bowls Project Home Edition will be brought to your personal device through a digital platform. Since we have often been asked for the recipes of our soups, we will post a daily feature of recipes from many of our talented chefs who have donated delicious soups in past years. The Home Edition will also highlight our creative potters, our talented musicians and our dedicated supporters. For more information about the HOME EDITION, please visit the Helping Hands website helpinghandsdrippingsprings.org/empty-bowls-project or Facebook page (Dripping Springs Empty Bowls Project)
