The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County will host its seventh Empty Bowls fundraising luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at a new location, the Santa Maria Fairpark, Park Plaza Pavilion.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the door with a $20 donation.
The event enables attendees to help fight hunger in the community by purchasing a handmade soup bowl, donated by local artists, and sharing a meal of gourmet soup, donated by local restaurants.
Attendees take the bowl home as a reminder of the many individuals who do not have enough food to meet their daily needs.
It is a wonderful opportunity for friends, families and co-workers to enjoy a luncheon while making a significant contribution to the Foodbank’s efforts to end hunger and food insecurity in Santa Maria.
