About the event

Fourth Annual Empty Bowls
The Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania is hosting the Fourth Annual Empty Bowls event on October 4, 2025. This fundraiser consists of a modest meal of soup and bread as a reminder that too many of our neighbors are facing hunger with “empty bowls.” Guests will enjoy a variety of soups, breads, and desserts donated by local restaurants. With hundreds of handmade bowls to choose from, all guests in attendance will select a bowl as a memento of their contribution toward alleviating hunger in northwest Pennsylvania.

Supporting Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania’s Empty Bowls event helps us provide nutritious meals for the more than 101,000 individuals facing hunger in our community, including 1 in 5 children.* Just a $25 donation to Second Harvest provides enough meals to feed one person for three weeks.

Tickets are $25 per person prior to the event and will be $30 at the door.

All guests in attendance select a hand-made bowl to take home as a reminder that many of our neighbors need our help to fill their “empty bowls.”
