The Empty Bowl 2026

The Empty Bowl Supper is the largest and longest running fundraiser for The Laurel Center. This family event allows guests to experience what food insecurity feels like in our community while raising funds for The Laurel Center’s programs that support hundreds of women, men, and children whose lives have been affected by domestic and sexual violence. For our 24th annual event, we are happy to be back at Fellowship Bible Church again this year. We will have beautiful hand-thrown bowls, locally made by the Shenandoah Potter's Guild and delicious soups from local restaurants, as well as an ample supply of breads and desserts.
