Empty Bowls, to be held March 5 and 6, is River City Food Bank’s biggest fundraiser, and this year it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. The event has experienced so much growth in the past few years that this year’s event will be held at the Sacramento Convention Center. Our goal is to raise $125,000 to provide emergency 3-day food supplies to the increasing numbers of families and seniors who need help getting by.
