Empty Bowls 2023
Dinner & Auction

Saturday, September 16th
3:30 — 6:30 pm
Pajaro Dunes Shorebirds Lagoon House

This year marks the return of our beloved Empty Bowls Dinner and Auction. Our Empty Bowls Campaign goal for 2023 is to raise $150,000 to support our year-round kitchen and pantry programs. Inflation and a natural disaster hit our community hard, and the need for food assistance continues to grow. The rising cost of living forces many families to make difficult decisions about how to feed their children and themselves. One out of three Santa Cruz County residents are reported to be food insecure. Your contributions go a long way towards alleviating hunger in our community.
