23rd Annual Empty Bowls

BENEFITING THE ARKANSAS FOODBANK

Join us for a night to remember at the 23rd Annual Empty Bowls Gala on Saturday, April 26, 2025, 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, Diane and Randy Zook.

A Secret Garden Awaits You
This year’s theme transports guests to a Secret Garden, where a magical evening unfolds. Begin the night with a cocktail hour featuring live music from the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Quartet, accompanied by refreshing specialty cocktails. Then, enjoy a delectable sit-down dinner and the Empty Bowls program in the main venue.

We invite you to embrace the spirit of the evening by dressing in Garden Formal attire. A balance of sophistication and relaxed outdoor charm, Garden Formal attire for women might include a chic floral midi dress, while men can opt for a light-colored suit or blazer. It’s an elegant step up from casual, yet more relaxed than traditional black tie.

An Artistic Tribute to Our Neighbors
The Empty Bowls Gala will feature a special art exhibit, with unique bowls donated by renowned artists James Hayes, Zack Dryden, Jazmin Urrea, and Jan Schachter. 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.
