SOLD OUT -NeighborImpact’s 25th Annual Empty Bowls

Thank you, Central Oregon! Both seatings for NeighborImpact’s 25th Annual Empty Bowls are now sold out.

Join us for the 25th Annual Empty Bowls benefiting the NeighborImpact Food Bank. Many Central Oregon residents face food insecurity every day. The need is real, and community support makes a difference. Empty Bowls raises critical funds to help put food on the tables of neighbors in need.

Attendees will receive a beautifully handcrafted bowl made by local potters and wood turners, along with a lunch featuring soup or chili, bread, refreshments, and dessert prepared by the Cascade Culinary Institute culinary students of Central Oregon Community College. Guests will also enjoy a relaxed mid-day dining experience at the COCC Coats Campus Center with live music.

Empty Bowls is an internationally recognized event that raises awareness of hunger and hunger-related issues. Guests keep their handcrafted bowls as a reminder of the thousands of bowls that remain empty each day in Central Oregon and around the world. Locally, proceeds support NeighborImpact’s Regional Food Assistance Program, which distributes nearly four million pounds of food throughout our region each year. Together with 59 food partners across Central Oregon, the program helps provide approximately 84,000 meals each month.

Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and to the sponsors, potters, wood turners, volunteers, and community members who make this event possible.
