Empty Bowls 2024

We are thrilled to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Empty Bowls, Loaves & Fishes’ beloved signature fundraising event!

Empty Bowls is more than a fundraiser — it is a true celebration of community. For 30 years, local potters, restaurants, wineries, businesses, and foundations have come together to support our mission. Each ticket includes a handcrafted bowl and a delicious selection of soups donated by generous local restaurants, along with fresh bread and local wine if you choose!

100% of proceeds directly support our free meal and advocacy programs. Loaves & Fishes now serves over 5,600 meals each month, ensuring that no one is turned away hungry. As need continues to grow in Tompkins County, so does the importance of your support.

We are deeply grateful to the artists, chefs, volunteers, sponsors, and guests who make this event possible year after year.
