Join us for Empty Bowls, benefitting SVdP CARES, an afternoon that brings together compassion, creativity, and community impact. This year’s event is proudly presented by Dick and Joyce Funk, whose continued support helps make this meaningful gathering possible.
Guests will enjoy music, live art, a curated silent auction, and a thoughtfully expanded food experience. In addition to locally inspired soups, we’ve partnered with community restaurants to offer other food bowl options, such as protein bowls and salad bowls, creating a more inclusive and diverse way to experience the event.
Each $25 ticket includes entry to the event and a beautifully handcrafted bowl, created by local artists and gifted to you upon arrival, a lasting reminder that everyone deserves a full bowl and a place to call home.
Empty Bowls is more than an event, it’s a reflection of our mission. What began over a century ago with a simple bowl of soup has grown into a network of services that now provides over 86,000 meals annually and housing support across 22 Florida counties and now Puerto Rico: https://www.svdpsp.org/service-areas/puerto-rico/
Proceeds from this event directly support programs that help Veterans, families, and individuals move from crisis to stability.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for community partners who want to align their brand with meaningful impact and visible community engagement. Sponsors play a vital role in helping us expand our reach and deepen our mission-driven work. Contact:
