Empty Bowls 2025

Join Friendship Mission at Empty Bowls, our signature fundraising and awareness event. Empty Bowls is the opportunity to gather as a community to celebrate the stories of HOPE and the PATH to HOME, to learn about the current state of Friendship Mission as the only year-round homeless shelter for many counties, and to raise the funding necessary to keep our services going. Enjoy a simple and delicious meal of locally prepared and loved comfort foods and bid for good at the onsite silent auction, where you can win the best services, items, and experiences. Let’s gather for good to fight hunger and homelessness at Friendship Mission’s Empty Bowls.
