121 Habitat Street, Americus, Georgia 31709. Empty Bowls Empty Bowls is an international project to fight hunger. It originated in Michigan in 1991, when a high school ceramics teacher had students make bowls for a faculty luncheon. In exchange for a donation, guests received a simple meal and the bowl from which they ate. After the meal, the bowl served as a permanent reminder that there are always those whose bowls remain empty.
