Empty Bowls

Coming April 2, 2025

Join us at the WaterFire Arts Center for handmade bowls & gourmet bites at this beloved Food Bank fundraiser. Your ticket to Empty Bowls will get you unlimited tastings from some of Rhode Island’s best restaurants, and an artisan bowl to take home as a reminder of the empty bowls in our community. Watch this page for information on tickets, sponsorships, vendors and more.
