2025 Sponsorships - Empty Bowls PB

Eat Simply So Others Can Simply Eat

We invite you . . .

The Palm Beach County Food Bank invites you to be part of Empty Bowls Palm Beach, a grass-roots effort to turn hunger into hope in our community.

• Hunger is up 31% this year in Palm Beach County. One in nine people struggle to put food on the table, and one in five children will go to bed hungry tonight.
• The Food Bank works with 200 partner agencies, including schools, soup kitchens, food pantries, afterschool programs, and libraries to provide nutritious, supplemental food for our neighbors in need.
• In 2024, the Food Bank distributed more than 15 million pounds of food, equal to nearly 13 million meals.

Volunteer and event leadership is comprised of people who can make a difference!

We’re Back for our 12th Year!

Palm Beach Empty Bowls will be held at The Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, one of Palm Beach’s most impressive historic landmarks, on Friday, February 21st, from 11 am – 2 pm. Guests can socialize with friends in the beautiful church courtyard, one of Palm Beach’s magical outdoor spaces.

• Guests will delight in scrumptious soups, bread, and cookies from our bakers, hotels, private clubs, and restaurants. As always, we will gather to remember the thousands of children, families, and seniors whose next meal would be an empty bowl without our help.
• In 2024, more than 500 people attended the event, and the media loves Empty Bowls! In 2024 we were covered in nearly 50 print and television news stories and calendar listings including publications such as Palm Beach Illustrated, Florida Weekly, Palm Beach Post, Jupiter Magazine, and local news stations yielding millions in viewership.
• Participation is what counts! 2024 attendance was over 500.
• Over the past 11 years, Empty Bowls has raised nearly $1 million for hunger relief.
