Empty Bowls Jr.
Join us at Allen Honda Saturday, March 1, 2025 from 11:00am – 1:00pm for Empty Bowls Jr.! Enjoy delicious soup from local restaurants, music by Bryan High Mariachi Band and A&M Consolidated Middle School Orchestra, and handmade bowls by students in the Brazos Valley. With the goal of “kids helping kids”, all proceeds from this event support local in-school food pantries and Arts Center Children’s Programs.


Empty Bowls, Jr. began in 2013 as a way to directly support local in-school food pantries and The Arts Center programs. Students and art educators from more than 25 Brazos Valley schools have created hundreds of handmade, artistic bowls to donate for this event with the purpose of “kids helping kids.” With your help, struggling families can afford to feed their loved ones.
At Empty Bowls, Jr. you can help end hunger, enjoy a variety of entertainment, and view handmade, artist bowls created by Brazos Valley students and teachers. For every $10 donation, receive a bowl and a cup of delicious soup provided by our amazing restaurant sponsors! All proceeds from this event will benefit local in-school pantries and Arts Center Children Programs.
