Please join us as a Sponsor or Donor in a partnership to help ensure Pajaro Valley families have access to healthy groceries and meals throughout the year.
Our event takes place at the stunning Shorebirds Lagoon House, generously donated by the Pajaro Dunes North Association. This uplifting afternoon will feature:
  • Live music
  • An open wine bar
  • A vibrant grazing table with hearty appetizers and desserts
  • Loaves and Fishes signature pozole
  • A beautifully curated silent auction and raffle
  • lively “auction house-style” live auction
Each guest will take home a handcrafted ceramic bowl — a powerful reminder of the empty bowls in our community and the urgent need to fill them. Empty Bowls provides 25% of our annual operating budget and is the cornerstone of our programs. Your sponsorship or in-kind donation (such as wine or auction items) will directly support local families while spotlighting your company's leadership and generosity.
