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 pivot from an in-person event to a virtual platform.
We are thrilled to announce that with the generosity of our donors, volunteers, sponsors and community partners, we raised more than $100,000 to support our neighbors in need!
We cannot thank you enough!

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!
Please join us on May 6, 2021 as the community comes together to give where their heart is.
Giving Tuesday
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.
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.
Because of YOU, we raised more than $34,000 in gifts during Giving Tuesday 2020. We are so grateful for your support!
