24th Annual Empty Bowls

BENEFITING THE ARKANSAS FOODBANK

Join us for a night to remember at the 24th Annual Empty Bowls Gala on Friday, March 13, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at The Venue at Westwind in North Little Rock. This year’s event will honor long-time Arkansas Foodbank supporters and volunteers, Lynn and Joe Copeland.

A Night in Black and White Awaits You

This year’s theme, A Night in Black and White, creates a sleek and timeless atmosphere for our black-tie event. The evening begins with a cocktail hour featuring live jazz and signature espresso martinis, followed by a dinner prepared by Petit & Keet and a program highlighting our work and impact.

Guests are encouraged to follow black-tie attire. Women may choose a floor-length gown or a simple black-and-white look, while men should plan to wear a tuxedo. The goal is a classic, elevated style that matches the tone of the night.

An Artistic Tribute to Our Neighbors
The Empty Bowls Gala will feature a special art exhibit, with unique bowls donated by renowned artists. These beautiful pieces will be on display, serving as a powerful reminder of the 280,000 neighbors we serve every day—neighbors whose tables would remain empty without the support of individuals and businesses that partner with the Arkansas Foodbank.
