About Rice Bowls

 
  • We were founded in 1985 in Upstate South Carolina!

Advocacy trips

  • We currently have serving opportunities in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Zambia and South Africa.

  • We stay at or visit our partner children’s homes. We are there to play with the kids, be a respite for the caretakers, and serve the home however we can. They are the ones doing the hard, important work for our kids!

  • Head over to our Trips page!

  • It is $195. For trips departing in August 2026 and beyond, it will be $295. All trip deposits are nonrefundable.

  • Come with a positive attitude and be willing to be a team player! We will send you emails leading up to your trip with everything you will need to know, including schedule, pack list, customs forms, and more!

  • Reach out to our Office Coordinator, Bekah, at bklickman@ricebowls.org

Bowl Campaigns

  • Our rice bowls are plastic piggy banks that hold change and dollar bills. You can order FREE bowls for your group to raise money to provide life-saving meals!

  • Bowl projects are perfect for any group, including schools, churches, VBS, scout troops, clubs, families, coworkers, youth groups, and more! You can order bowls in quantities of 10, 20 and 50.

  • It is fully customizable to your group’s schedule and needs, but 4-6 weeks is a great timeframe for a project!

  • You deposit the funds into your account and can send them to us by online donation or a check!
