THANK YOU! To everyone who purchased a ticket, sponsored, donated, or volunteered for our 19th Annual Empty Bowls!

This year’s event was a drive-thru-style dinner, with everything going smoothly and enjoyed by a full, happy, nearly sold-out crowd.

We raised over $41,000!

AND, with minimal event expenses due to everyone’s generosity, almost all the proceeds will go directly toward supporting Plowshares’ mission,” that no one in our community go hungry. ” We are now serving more than 300  hot, nutritious meals daily (over 102,250/year) in our Community Dining Room and Senior Meals-on-Wheels programs, in addition to the homeless support and other services we provide for the most vulnerable members of our community.

There were so many donors and volunteers to thank. Please see the list of all who made the Empty Bowls event such a spectacular success, and help us thank the good-hearted people whose generosity is doing so much good for those in need!
