25th ANNUAL EMPTY BOWLS
Together, we are on the road to provide our area with food, hope, and a brighter future.
The past year has shown us that we must be willing to adapt to new challenges, and choose a new path that allows us to continue our work.
Please join us for a reimagined event benefiting the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, featuring chef-prepared gourmet fare, live entertainment and more!
Guests may choose to attend from the comfort of your car (drive-through style) with the option to get out and mingle, or participate virtually from home.
