Empty Bowls CLARKCOUNTY2025

Thursday, March 27, 2025 | 4:30pm - 6:30pm | Wittenberg University

For the past 30 years, Second Harvest Food Bank has partnered with Wittenberg University for the annual Empty Bowls fundraiser. Every year, students from Wittenberg University and Springfield-area high schools hand make over 1,000 ceramic bowls to be sold as event “admission” to the all-you-can-eat soup buffet to help raise money for Second Harvest. The bowls serve as a poignant reminder of the persistent “empty bowls” in the world, a consequence of wide-spread food insecurity.

In 2024, Clark County Empty Bowls welcomed over 450 people, and is on track to reach pre-COVID attendance levels of over 800 people.

Ten (10) handmade bowls + Ten (10) admission tickets for an all-you-can-eat soup buffet

Up to three (3) pieces of collateral placed in every guest bag Two (2) individual, dedicated social media posts + Newspaper advertisement in the Springfield News-Sun + Inclusion in press release Logo printed prominently on all event signage + guest bags

Wednesday, April 2 | 5:00pm - 8:00pm | Soup Crawl in Downtown Urbana

New last year, Empty Bowls in Champaign County transitioned into a soup crawl around downtown Urbana. Participants in the crawl drive to the first crawl location (The Farmer’s Daughter) to purchase their bowl with event ticket. After that, participants walk or drive to multiple downtown restaurants or organizations to receive a cup of soup to-go (or enjoy it right in the restaurant!). The new event format received raved reviews and over 100 community members participated in the inaugural event. In 2025, we plan to expand the crawl to even more locations, as we have already received inquiries from several restaurants. We anticipate attracting 150 to 200 participants in 2025!

Empty Bowls LOGAN COUNTY 2025

Thurs, April 3, 2025 | 5:00pm - 8:00pm | Soup Crawl in Downtown Bellefontaine

Due to circumstances outside of our control, Empty Bowls in Logan County had to be cancelled for 2023 and 2024. We were sad to miss the event in Logan County the last few years, but we are looking forward to bringing back the event better than ever! Following the same structure as the 2024 Champaign County Empty Bowls, this will be a soup crawl at participating restaurants and organizations in downtown Bellefontaine. We anticipate this inaugural event will gather over 100 community members to usher in a new era of Empty Bowls. All participants will be able to purchase their bowl at The Flying Pepper Cantina, they will then be given an event ticket and map of participating locations. Each location will provide guests with one free cup of soup in a togo cup to enjoy at the restaurant or at a later time. This provides a wonderful chance to visit a new restaurant and enjoy the same Empty Bowls fellowship we have all come to know and love!
