What's Happening: 
This year, Empty Bowls brings back our legendary annual soup FUNdraiser event, with local chefs/restaurants going head-to-head in our 2nd Annual Chef Showdown, each bringing their best soup for a shot at best in town!

Here's how it works — taste your way through soups from some of the top local restaurants in town, then cast your vote for the People's Choice Award and see if your favorite matches the judges, who are awarding 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

Your ticket also gets you a pick from a table of unique, handmade ceramic bowls, made by regional artists — take one home as a reminder that too many of our neighbors go without food, and an empty bowl shouldn't be anyone's everyday reality.

What's Included:
•    A full lineup of soups to taste and judge
•    Your vote in the People's Choice Award
•    A handmade ceramic bowl, made by regional artists, yours to keep
•    Live music and a full community vibe
•    Silent auction, raffles, desserts, and more!

Why It Matters: 
Every bowl at this event stands in for someone in our community whose bowl is too often empty. All proceeds go directly to our local partners — Banco de Alimentos Puerto Peñasco, Palabras de Esperanza, and DIF — who work year-round with families in Puerto Peñasco who are working to get back on their feet.

100% volunteer-run, 100% community-powered.
