What Comes with My Order?

To-Go Soup and Bread

16 oz pint of soup – $25

With your order you can select any number of soups to purchase from a variety of local restaurants. You can order as many soups from as many restaurants as you would like, all in one order! Each order also comes with a serving of bread from local bakeries.

Hand-painted Bowls

Each order of soup will come with a hand-painted bowl to serve as a reminder of those facing hunger in our community.

We know that one of the favorite things about this event is browsing the tables of hand-painted bowls to find one that speaks to you. With Empty Bowls To-Go, you can still have this opportunity to choose your bowl.

There are a limited number of these bowls available and they will be distributed on a first-order, first-serve basis.

Specialty Bowls

Specialty bowls are unique works of art created by local artisans and are available for purchase. Each specialty bowl provides hundreds of meals for our neighbors. View this year’s bowls at the link below.
