Fill a Bowl, Support a Mission
Nearly 1 in 8 Cambridge residents have reported as being food insecure. Among those facing homelessness, that rate is much higher. Organizations like On The Rise help ensure that those experiencing homelessness in our communities have the resources they need–including hot, high quality food–to survive.
You can combat hunger and homelessness in our community by participating in Empty Bowls, which is a great way to learn about these issues, while enjoying hot soup prepared by local restaurants and pottery crafted by local artisans. All proceeds directly benefit On The Rise and their Safe Haven and Keep The Keys programs, which support those actively experiencing homelessness and those recovering from homelessness respectively.
The event will take place Saturday, March 29, 2025 with seatings at 11:30am and 1:30pm. This year’s event will take place at First Street Market at 9 First Street in Cambridge, a new, larger space built to accommodate our growing community of supporters!
If you cannot attend the event, please consider making a donation! If you want to learn more about our work and tour our home, please reach out to our team at development@ontherise.org.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday, February 28!
