Hosted by United Food Bank and Services (UFB), this annual event invites the community to come together in support of our neighbors facing food insecurity. Rooted in a global grassroots movement, Empty Bowls connects local students, artists, and residents through art and action, reminding us all of the many bowls that go unfilled each day.

Guests are invited to enjoy a delicious tasting experience featuring more than 20 varieties of soups, all generously prepared by local community members. Each attendee selects a handcrafted ceramic bowl created by local students and artists to take home as a powerful reminder of the event’s purpose.

The event also features live music, pottery demonstrations, a balloon artist for children, and a live auction of high-end artist-created bowls. It is a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of community and generosity, all while supporting vital hunger relief programs.

Your support of Empty Bowls directly fuels UFB’s mission to empower families and individuals to break free from hunger and hardship. By sponsoring or contributing to this event, you help turn creativity into impact and compassion into lasting change.
