Dripping Springs Empty Bowls Project Thanks for joining us here to support our neighbors at Dripping Springs Helping Hands!

The Empty Bowls Project in Dripping Springs is a family-fun event where the community comes together to share a wonderful meal, live music, fellowship, and most importantly, support our neighbors in need. More than 30 restaurants from Dripping Springs and Austin prepare and donate dozens of soups that are each distinct and delicious. In addition to supporting Helping Hands, guests select the perfect bowl to take home. Over 1000 beautiful and unique hand-thrown bowls are created by amazing artisans

It takes a village! 🥣💛

We’re getting ready for the 2026 Dripping Springs Empty Bowls Project, and we could still use a few more helping hands (and a few more cookies!).

We have just a handful of volunteer spots still open, and we’re also looking for cookie donations to help make the day extra sweet.

Want to join this amazing crew? Head to the Contact page on the EBP website to sign up to volunteer or bring cookies.

We couldn’t make this event happen without our incredible community. 💛
