Community Outreach
The Village Potters Guild has an active Community Outreach Program, continually searching for ways to integrate our organization and our craft into public life and community organizations. Current projects include Empty Bowls, New Morning School, and Team Building activities.

Empty Bowls
Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement by artists and crafts people in cities and towns around the world to raise money for food related charities to care for and feed the hungry in their communities. Empty Bowls has raised millions of dollars to help end hunger. Village Potters Guild regularly participates in local Empty Bowls fundraisers. Most recently, we donated bowls to the "Road to Home Fundraiser" sponsored by SOS Community Services, a community-based nonprofit dedicated to preventing and ending family homelessness in Washtenaw County. Village Potters Guild members donated some beautiful work, and VPG donated bud vases originally made for our Spring Market fundraiser - we're very happy to see them continue to raise funds for a great cause. You can still donate, if you like, to help feed the hungry and house the homeless. www.soscs.org
