On Friday, February 21st, the Palm Beach County Food Bank will hold its 12th Annual Empty Bowls event at Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea.
This event aims to raise funds for hunger relief, which affects one in nine people living in Palm Beach County.
Event-goers will enjoy freshly baked bread from Old School Bakery, signature soups donated by local restaurants, water, and a bake sale all served by community leaders and local celebrities.
Restaurants that have donated to this event in the past include The Ben West Palm, E.R. Bradley’s Saloon, The Breakers Palm Beach, The Colony Palm Beach Hotel, The Lord’s Place Cafe Joshua, Field of Greens, Pistache, Ravish Off Ocean, Renato’s Palm Beach.
The PBCFB’s motto is to “eat simply, so others can simply eat.” PBCFB procures food from grocery stores, farmers, food distributors, wholesalers and other sources and distributes it to over 200 local community partners, including food pantries, soup kitchens and schools.
“In 2024, we opened our new 24,000 square-foot community kitchen expansion, which will act as a launching pad to addressing the root causes of hunger and surpassed the one-million-dollar mark for funds raised across 11 years of Empty Bowls Palm Beach,” says Jamie Kendall, CEO of PBCFB. “So, this year’s signature event at the Church of Bethesda is especially exciting as we bring more of our Palm Beach supporters into the conversation of how we are reducing the empty bowls that local residents face.”
Tickets cost $40 which includes unlimited soup tastings, a bread roll from Old School Bakery, a bottle of water, a cookie, a goodie bag, and one hand-painted ceramic bowl.
