The Brenau community lives out the Brenau Ideal – “To be prepared for service thereby earning the right to be served.” Get involved in an act of selflessness and give back! Below are a few options!

Empty Bowl Painting

Georgia Mountain Food Bank

Yonah Lobby from 11-2 pm

Get creative and paint bowls that will be used at the Empty Bowl Luncheon in 2024!

Snacks and refreshments will be provided in Yonah Lobby by Brenau’s Staff Leadership Team!

Each year, Georgia Mountain Food Bank (GMFB) hosts 1,000 people at Hall County’s largest, and GMFB’s only, fundraising event, the Empty Bowl lunch. Those who attend the lunch receive a hand-painted bowl to take home to remind them of all the empty bowls they are helping to fill by attending the event. Every bowl is as unique as the person who paints it, and each brush stroke is symbolic of how each of us individually can help impact the whole picture of hunger in our area.
