Marshfield Area Empty Bowls

Marshfield Area Empty Bowls is an annual fundraising event established in 2012 to benefit the Soup or Socks Food Pantry & Clothes Closet in Marshfield, Wisconsin. The event features handmade ceramic bowls created by local artists and students paired with homemade soup donated by area restaurants, with attendees purchasing tickets to enjoy soup while taking home a keepsake bowl. Since its inception, the event has raised nearly $100,000 for the nonprofit Soup or Socks organization, which serves the Marshfield community with food assistance, clothing, and other essential services.
