Empty Bowls

Empty Bowls brings our community together for a simple meal of soup and bread while supporting Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania. Guests can enjoy a variety of soups, breads, and desserts generously donated by local restaurants and choose from hundreds of handmade bowls created by local artists and community members. Each bowl is a lasting reminder of a day spent together and the difference we can make when our community comes together to support our neighbors.
Guests will enjoy a selection of many delicious flavors of soups from various local restaurants. The event will also feature live entertainment.
