EMPTY BOWLS 2024
Join us for the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana’s annual Empty Bowls Dinner and Online Auction on Thursday, September 5, 2024, at Bally’s Casino Grand Ballroom. As our most important fundraiser and hunger awareness event of the year, every dollar raised will help us provide vital food assistance to those in need.
Guests will enjoy a simple yet heartfelt dinner featuring soups, bread, dessert, and beverages, reflecting the modest meals many in our community rely on. The evening will also feature an online of donated goods and services. Attendees can select a ceramic bowl to take home—each one a unique piece crafted by local artists and community members. These bowls serve as a poignant reminder of the many empty bowls across Caddo, Bossier, Webster, Claiborne, Bienville, Red River, and DeSoto Parishes that still need filling. We invite you to join us in making a meaningful difference in the fight against hunger.
We are incredibly grateful to our amazing sponsors who make this event possible. Their support plays a crucial role in our mission to fight hunger and provide food to those in need. Thank you for standing with us and helping to fill the empty bowls in our community.
