Empty Vessel began in 2001 and became a 501(c)3 in 2004 serving young people with support and guidance and transitioned into deeper support via music education, appreciation and intervention. This now allows Empty Vessel to address the families of young people deeper emotional, physical and financial needs. Additionally, we are able to help the homeless weekly by feeding and providing "care and essential needs kits. At the same time we sponsor weekly "Adopt-A-Block" programs which provides a small grocery haul of essential food items, cutting lawns, picking up trash ect. in impacted communities.
