Yummy Bowl Benefit

Concerned that over 40% of our students reported being food insecure, the Ceramics area in the Department of Art, School of the Arts and Architecture, wanted to initiate a fundraiser to support our community during this especially attenuated time of need. Ceramics is a communal activity by nature, and it is the Ceramics Area's mission to expand that communal work into social justice work.

Our Yummy Bowl Benefit is a fundraiser where students, staff, and faculty make bowls to raise money for UCLA’s CPO Food Closet to highlight and amplify their good work and to bring attention to this pressing issue of food insecurity in our UCLA community.

Date: Thursday, May 19
Location: UCLA Broad Art Center Plaza
Time: 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

100% of the funds we raise will go to the CPO Food Closet.

The CPO Food Closet operates as a fully-stocked pantry with fresh produce, beverages, bread, canned foods, and hygiene products for any UCLA student experiencing food insecurity. The Community Programs Office (CPO) has supported students at UCLA for over 30 years.

On May 19, bowls will be available for pick up at Broad Art Center Plaza on campus between 11:30 am--1:30 pm. Lulu, the restaurant at the Hammer Museum, will be serving a yummy vegetarian dish that you can fill your bowl with. 

** Bowls must be picked up in person on May 19 at the Yummy Bowl Benefit. Limit 3 bowls per person. 
** Bowls not picked up will be used for future bowl benefits to support the UCLA Food Closet. 
** Bowls cannot be reserved in advance. 
** All bowls will be selected at the time of the event by participants.
