Empty Bowls

Save the date for one of Rhode Island's favorite nights of food and community.

Join the Rhode Island Community Food Bank on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 from 6 to 8:30 PM at the WaterFire Arts Center for Empty Bowls, our beloved annual fundraiser bringing together local restaurants, artists, and neighbors who care about ensuring Rhode Islanders have access to the food they need.

Enjoy unlimited tastings from some of Rhode Island's favorite eateries. Plus, each guest will also select a one-of-a-kind handmade bowl crafted by a local artist to take home as a reminder of the empty bowls your support helps fill.

Thank you to this year's presenting sponsor, Stop & Shop!
