Empty Bowls fundraiser raises money for local food bank
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The dates for Second Harvest Food Bank's annual Empty Bowls fundraising events have been released.
The events fight hunger and bring people together to enjoy delicious soup.
Those interested in the fundraiser can join in on the following days:
Thursday, March 27, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. – Clark County Empty Bowls, Wittenberg University Student Center Dining Hall
Wednesday, April 2, from 5 to 8:00 p.m. – Champaign County Empty Bowls, The Farmer's Daughter in Urbana
Thursday, April 3, from 5 to 8:00 p.m. – Logan County Empty Bowls, The Flying Pepper Cantina in Bellefontaine
With a $20 donation ($10 for kids under 12-years-old), guests can choose a hand-crafted bowl made by local high school and Wittenberg University students. Using the bowl, they can enjoy a selection of soup from local restaurants.
All proceeds go to Second Harvest Food Bank. In 2024, the food bank assisted over 56,000 people facing food insecurity.
'These events are a true testament to the kindness and generosity of our community,' said Jennifer Brunner, Development Director of SHFB. 'Every bowl filled, and every donation made, brings us one step closer to making sure none of our neighbors go hungry.'
The events in Champaign and Logan Counties will have 'Soup Crawls' where guests can go from restaurant to restaurant to try a variety during the event.
'We're excited to expand the Soup Crawl format to Logan County this year while continuing the tradition in Champaign County,' said Allie Godfrey, SHFB Marketing & Events Specialist. 'This event is a great way for people to experience local flavors while supporting a vital cause.'
