LUNCH OR (NEW!) DINNER - THIS YEAR YOU CAN CHOOSE

This year, for the first time, we are adding a dinner to our Empty Bowls event. The dinner will be held on April 17 from 4:00 pm-7:30 pm at Benton Convention Center. The dinner will be very much like our popular lunch event with a simple meal of soup and a handmade bowl. Many of our supporters have asked for this for years — and we’re excited that it’s happening in 2018.

CHEFS, ARTISTS AND OUR COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER

The Empty Bowls event brings together top local chefs and artists dedicated to fighting hunger in our community. Chefs prepare soup made with fresh, wholesome ingredients and local artists create beautiful, handmade bowls for each of our guests. We’re so thankful for all of the people, along with our sponsors, who make this event possible. If are a chef, artist or potential sponsor who would like to help, please reach out to us.
