His idea spread, and Empty Bowls events now take place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Millions of dollars have been raised and donated to hunger-fighting organizations.

In 1914, the post office was Hampton’s center for conveying the community’s everyday stories. Letters from all over the world passed through these doors. In 2014, a video production company was able to carry on the tradition by bringing real-life stories, produced at the Post Office, to people internationally. Now, the Historic Post Office continues to bring people together as a wedding and meeting venue and as a place for the community to gather by hosting things like the Empty Bowls Event. Join us for a beautiful evening in this historic location.
