Serving up Art, Music, and Specialty Soups!
Join your fellow community members, businesses, and community organizations at our annual Empty Bowls Project Dinner! Empty Bowls is a signature fundraising event for the UCAN Food Bank. Empty Bowls Project dinner attendees get their choice of a bowl crafted locally to use to taste an array of tasty soups made by some of Douglas County’s top restaurants and chefs. We’ll also be serving up artisan breads and wines to accompany the soup.
This event is all made possible by incredible supporters like you. At last year’s event, we had almost 200 local residents attend and help us raise over $49,000. We have set a goal of raising $75,000 for our 2025 Empty Bowls event. With your support, we can provide over 200,000 meals to our neighbors through our network of 15 emergency food pantries and 6 community kitchens/shelters.
