The Empty Bowls event in July raised $25,301 for Junction 142 , delivering critical funding directly to essential crisis and support services for vulnerable members of our local community.
This record-breaking outcome was made possible by an extraordinary community effort:
๐400+ handmade ceramic bowls were generously donated by local and Sydney-based potters.
๐186 raffle and auction items were contributed by local businesses backing the initiative.
๐100% of every dollar raised goes directly to supporting vulnerable members of our local community.
We are proud to highlight our Founder, Linda Kemp, who helped lead the initiative as President of the Blue Mountains Clay Collective, and we extend a heartfelt thank you to every potter, business, and volunteer who gave their time and creativity to support Junction 142's vital work.
