Empty Bowls 2020 A Community Meal to Fight Hunger

March 15 @ 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm,  $10 – $25

The annual Empty Bowls is a simple community meal of soup and bread to help remind people of the one in eight residents of Allegheny County who are facing hunger. Pittsburgh’s Empty Bowls typically draws more than 1,500 people and has raised more than $500,000 to fight hunger in our region.

This marks the 25th year that Just Harvest and Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank will co-host the event. Funds raised will benefit both organizations equally.

The dinner features soup cooked by some of Pittsburgh’s top restaurants. Local personality soup servers, a silent auction of ceramic art and celebrity-autographed bowls, live music, children’s activities, and soup-to-go are part of the festivities.

Each ticket-holder gets to choose a beautiful handmade bowl to take home.

TICKETS Advance price tickets will be available online until Saturday, March 14 at midnight. After that, purchase tickets at the door of the event.
