Empty Bowls returns to Katoomba on Saturday 25 July, inviting the community to come together in a shared act of compassion and creativity. Hosted by the Blue Mountains Clay Collective, this much-loved fundraiser offers a simple exchange: a hearty meal and a handcrafted ceramic bowl, symbolising both care and awareness of hunger in our region. Guests can enjoy warming soups, fresh bread, live music, and a lively raffle and auction—all supporting the vital work of Junction 142. It’s an afternoon of connection, generosity, and purpose—where every bowl helps make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
