We believe in “Partying with a Purpose” and do so at our signature event, Empty Bowls, each year. Additionally, River City Food Bank participates in the Big Day of Giving each spring, and Giving Tuesday each fall.
Empty Bowls
Empty Bowls, River City Food Bank’s (RCFB) largest fundraiser of the year, is a humble, community-based affair. The hundreds that gather share soup provided by the generosity of local restaurants and served by some of our most recognized community leaders.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, RCFB had to cancel our in-person event to keep our guests safe and reduce the risk of spreading the virus.
RCFB is excited to announce that we will be hosting our first ever livestream virtual event on August 27 at 7pm!
While this is not the Empty Bowls that we had envisioned for this year, we are grateful for the opportunity to share more about the work RCFB is doing to alleviate hunger in our community. With an increase in service of more than 30%, your support is more important than ever!
Big Day of Giving
Every year, the Sacramento region comes together for one BIG Day of Giving – a 24-hour online giving challenge.
In 2020, our region raised over $12 million, with River City Food Bank finishing the day with more than $130,000!
Thank you for joining your neighbors and friends and supporting the great nonprofits in our community who have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Your support provides much needed healthy food to families facing hunger.
Giving Tuesday
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. This year it will take place on December 3rd!
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
Donors to River City Food bank made more than $13,000 in gifts during Giving Tuesday 2019. We are so grateful for your support!
