Description:As winter and the holiday season approaches and our thoughts turn to warmth and family, Emergency Food Network wants to make sure that everyone in Pierce County has a consistant supply of diverse and nutritious food. The Empty Bowls event raise money that supports the distribution of food to our partner programs so that no one goes hungry this winter!
Local artisans donate beautiful handmade bowls which are lined up for sale. Participants come and purchase a bowl, and the proceeds go to helping neighbors in need. After purchasing a bowl, the guests are served soup donated by ,many of our generous sponsors!
Check out photos from last year's event at https://www.flickr.com/gp/efoodnet/6EV9k7.
We need your help in a variety of roles, to manage the purchase of bowls and the dining area. We hope to see you there!
The morning setup crew will help to unwrap and unpack bowls onto display tables!
There are also lots of ways to help during the event; see separate listing to learn more.

Mission Statement
The mission of Emergency Food Network is "to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry."
Description
"Currently, 1 in 10 people in Pierce County face food insecurity, and this need is continuing to rise. Through our 75+ Partner Programs (food pantries, meal sites, and shelters) all over Pierce County, EFN distributed over 14 million pounds of food in 2023 to our neighbors in need, including fresh produce grown at EFN’s Mother Earth Farm. This work was made possible by our 2,000+ volunteers, who worked over 12,000 hours in 2023. Volunteer work is vital in helping EFN pursue our mission of ensuring no person goes hungry. Volunteer opportunities include the Repack Project, Home Delivery, EFN’s Mother Earth Farm, and special events throughout the year. We hope you will join us!"
