Thank You for Making the 30th Annual Empty Bowls a Success!
The 30th Annual Empty Bowls was a wonderful celebration of community, compassion, and creativity! Thanks to the generosity of our artists, restaurants, sponsors, volunteers, and guests, Loaves & Fishes raised vital funds to support our free meal and advocacy programs.
This year’s milestone event marked three decades of neighbors coming together to ensure that no one in Tompkins County faces hunger alone. Guests enjoyed handcrafted bowls made by local potters, delicious soups from our restaurant partners, fresh bread, and local wine — all shared in the spirit of giving.
Because of your support, Loaves & Fishes continues to serve over 5,600 free meals each month in a welcoming space where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this year’s event — your generosity helps keep our mission strong.
