Each dinner ticket includes a handcrafted bowl that guests can keep, along with a simple meal of homemade soup, cheese, bread, and an apple.

If you can’t join us for the dinner, you can still support Foodworks by purchasing a bowl—they also make thoughtful gifts! Individual bowls are $25 and available at the following locations: Brattleboro Food Co-op, Everyone’s Books, The Kitchen Sync, The Shoe Tree, Zephyr Designs, The Putney Food Co-op, and The Putney General Store.

Over 22 years, Empty Bowls has become more than just a fundraiser; it’s a tradition that fosters community togetherness around a shared goal: ensuring that our neighbors have their basic needs met with dignity.

Every dollar raised at Empty Bowls goes directly to Foodworks, our area’s most heavily utilized food shelf program. In fiscal year 2024, Foodworks served 4,784 unique individuals across 1,990 households—that’s 3,491 adults and 1,293 children—providing free high-quality supplemental food for those in need.

These numbers represent our neighbors, coworkers, and community members facing challenging times. Together, we can create a future where no bowl goes empty.
