Hosted in partnership with the San Antonio Potters Guild, San Antonio Glass Art Guild, and Alamo Woodturners Association, Empty Bowls kicks off Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week in our community by highlighting the issues of food insecurity and housing instability.
Every bowl that finds a new home during this event comes with soup symbolizing the essence of a basic meal - a lifeline in shelters and soup kitchens. Your involvement in Empty Bowls not only extends a crucial safety net to those who require it the most, but also serves as a poignant reminder of our shared vulnerability to these challenges.

This will be Birmingham-Southern College's second year participating in HHAW! We have planned the following events:
- (11/8) Though this event will be early, we want to provide the campus with time to participate. We will be hosting a donation drive for First Light, Birmingham's women and children shelter. BSC has been serving weekly meals at First Light since the late 90's. We recently were given permission to be able to go out to sit and talk with residents after serving meals, and they told us it'd be nice to be given opportunities to make crafts or do activities with students. So this fundraiser will be dedicated to collecting crafting items.
- (11/14) Guest speaker from One Roof, Birmingham's US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) homeless Continuum of Care (CoC). It is the coordinating agency for homeless CoC for Central Alabama.
- (11/16) Church of the Reconciler, a church that provides several services to people experiencing poverty and homelessness, has a program dedicate to resident's expressing their creativity. The program recycles used plastics and converts them into coasters, ornaments, and jewelry. We will be inviting them to sell these items on campus! All sales return back to Church of the Reconciler to provide more services for the community.
- At some point in the week, we will be hosting a letter writing campaign to send to our U.S. representative to promote anti-hunger bills.
- We would like to host a gift card raffle to raise money to date to a non-profit, but we have not found a business to sponsor us.

Missouri Slope Areawide United Way will host a “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” event, starting at United Way’s Emergency Homeless Shelter (1140 S. 12th St. Bismarck).
On Wednesday, November 15, 2023, we invite the community, our shelter guests, and staff to walk a mile and back from the United Way Homeless Shelter. This is a unique opportunity for community members to connect with our homeless population and understand what they may be going through. This is a great experience and a true way to show our community cares about the struggles and hardships on the streets.
The walk will begin at the United Way Emergency Homeless Shelter, where we will all walk together to the Dream Center (a common stop for shelter residents), then back to the shelter.
We are encouraging everyone to bring a cold winter item—such as gloves, hats, mittens and/or hygiene products to support our homeless clientele.
At the end of our walk, we invite you to enjoy a free meal, learn about our shelter and the new Center For Opportunity, and talk with shelter residents.
