Santa Maria Empty Bowls

An annual Foodbank of Santa Barbara County event, Empty Bowls demonstrates the value in feeding and nourishing one another–especially the most vulnerable among us–with a simple meal of soup from a handmade bowl. Each guest takes a bowl home as a reminder of the meal’s purpose: to feed the hungry in our community.

Empty Bowls guests choose a beautiful handmade bowl, enjoy a simple meal of soup, bread and water, and take home the bowl as a reminder of the meal’s purpose: to feed the hungry in our community. Proceeds from Empty Bowls benefit the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County.

Santa Maria Empty Bowls will feature a Raffle Extravaganza that includes a selection of wines, restaurant and entertainment certificates, jewelry, and much more—something for everyone! Raffle tickets will be available at the door.
