14th Annual Empty Bowls

Campaign Ends: 02/09/2026 - 32 days to go!

The Arlington Food Assistance Center hosts an annual Empty Bowls event – a luncheon fundraiser featuring many delicious homemade soups made by chefs from local restaurants as well as beautiful hand-thrown bowls created by local artists!

Each guest enjoys a luncheon of soup, bread, dessert, and receives a hand-made bowl to take home as a reminder that there are many members in our community that live weekly with empty bowls.

100% of the proceeds from this event will be used to purchase nutritious groceries to help AFAC feed the more than 4,200 families who come to our doors each week.

You can purchase a sponsorship here, but if you can’t attend, donations to AFAC can still be made on this page!
