Every night, there are children in our community who go to
bed hungry. Hunger is often a hidden problem. Empty Bowls is an event dedicated to raising hunger awareness. Join the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano for a simple meal served in a handcrafted bowl and learn what the Food Bank is doing to get food to people in need. Keep the handcrafted bowl you use as a reminder of all the empty bowls in our community.
Chevron is sponsoring two events – one in each of the Food Bank warehouses.
Saturday, March 9
from 5:00-7:00 pm 4010 Nelson Ave Concord

The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano provides food to approximately 149,000 people at risk of hunger each month through direct service programs and a network of 180 partner agencies. During 2012 the Food Bank distributed nearly 16 million pounds of food, enough for over 13 million meals. You can help support these
efforts by attending Empty Bowls.
