At Hines Park Ford, we believe in the power of community, compassion, and coming together to make a difference. It’s not just about selling cars; it’s about being an integral part of the community and supporting initiatives that bring positive change. That’s why we are proud to announce our sponsorship of the Empty Bowl Project.
What is the Empty Bowl Project?
The Empty Bowl Project is a remarkable community event with a simple yet powerful mission: to combat hunger and food insecurity. Local artisans, potters, and community members join forces to create beautifully handcrafted ceramic bowls. These unique, one-of-a-kind bowls become the centerpieces of a charity event where individuals come together to enjoy a meal.
The concept is as beautiful as it is practical. Attendees purchase a ticket, which includes a simple meal of soup and bread. In return, they get to take home one of these handmade bowls as a reminder of the event and, more importantly, as a symbol of the many empty bowls in our community that need to be filled.
Why We Chose to Sponsor the Empty Bowl Project
Hines Park Ford’s commitment to the community extends beyond the automotive industry. We understand the importance of addressing local issues, especially those related to basic needs like food. The Empty Bowl Project aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re honored to be a part of it.
- Fighting Hunger: Hunger is an issue that affects millions of families every day, even in our own communities. By sponsoring the Empty Bowl Project, we’re contributing to the fight against hunger, helping to ensure that fewer bowls remain empty.
- Supporting Local Artisans: The Empty Bowl Project also celebrates the incredible talent of local artists and potters. By sponsoring this event, we are not only supporting a crucial cause but also promoting and appreciating the artistic skills within our community.
- Creating Awareness: Our sponsorship allows us to play a role in raising awareness about food insecurity, a concern that often goes unnoticed. We hope that our involvement will inspire others to join the cause and support local initiatives.
How You Can Get Involved
Our sponsorship of the Empty Bowl Project is just one step toward making a positive impact in our community. We encourage you to get involved as well:
- Attend the Event: Purchase a ticket and join us at the Empty Bowl Project. Enjoy a simple meal, select a handmade bowl, and be part of the change.
- Volunteer: The success of such events relies on dedicated volunteers. Consider giving your time and support to make it a memorable experience.
- Donate: If you are unable to attend but still want to contribute, consider making a donation to the cause.
At Hines Park Ford, we are more than just a dealership; we are a part of the community. Join us in supporting initiatives like the Empty Bowl Project that work to create a brighter, more nourished future for all. Together, we can help fill the empty bowls in our community and make a real difference in the lives of those in need.

Hines Park Ford in New Hudson, MI welcomed Santa Clause to the park on December 17th, 2022. Where children received free photos with Santa and those in attendance enjoyed complimentary drinks and snacks. As a part of our Home for the Holidays Spectacular, customers were able to take advantage of many amazing specials through Hines Park Ford and private offers!!
During this time of year our local Food pantries become very depleted; doing our part to help combat this, Hines Park Ford is making a donation to Active Faith in South Lyon for each test drive that took place on December 17!!
With community focus in mind, Hines Park Ford adopted two families to further make this event whole. In a teamwork fashion, the team wrapped gifts together for 5 children and then delivered those to the homes of each family. Spreading the joy of Christmas throughout their household.
Our family had a wonderful time hosting this event and look forward to growing it for years to come!
