2020 Empty Bowls

What Is Empty Bowls?

2020 marks the 17th annual Empty Bowls event. Empty Bowls, River City Food Bank’s largest fundraiser of the year, is a humble, community-based affair. The event draws nearly 1,300 diverse attendees, including local businesses, healthcare organizations, government officials and community leaders, to address our unified effort to reduce hunger in Sacramento County. The attendees gather to share soup provided by local restaurants and served by some of our most recognized community leaders. The event is a reminder of the men, women and children experiencing hunger among us. All attendees take home a local artist’s hand-crafted bowl, which represents a household struggling with hunger.

Every Empty Bowls guest selects the bowl of their choice from over 1,600 available to take home as a reminder of their commitment to fight hunger. Bowls are crafted by professional artists and local students.

Empty Bowls brings together 1,300 community members for lunch or dinner to enjoy a humble, yet delicious meal created by local restaurants. Well-known community leaders and government dignitaries then don aprons to serve our guests.

The two-day Empty Bowls event features two separate meals. Monday’s evening meal features a delicious soup dinner complete with wine, hors d’oeuvres and decadent desserts. Tuesday’s luncheon (One seating-new this year!) features a traditional soup lunch with warm bread and desserts all courtesy of your favorite local restaurants.

The funds raised at Empty Bowls provides critical support for the programs at RCFB and creates a positive impact all year long by serving thousands of men, women and children experiencing hunger. In 2019, we served more than 205,000 and the need is growing every day. Together we can fight hunger and offer hope and health to our neighbors in need.
