About This Event
Empty Bowls is a powerful reminder that many of our neighbors face daily food insecurity. Its 10th‑year return is possible because organizations, volunteers, schools, and local businesses have united around the belief that no one should face an empty bowl. In partnership with St. Vincent de Paul and The Salvation Army, the event strengthens the frontline food pantries meeting this critical need every day. Proceeds from the event and non-perishable food donations will support The Salvation Army (serving Marinette and Menominee Counties) and St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marinette Food Pantry. Tri-County United Way is serving as the fiscal agent for this event.
Donate a non-perishable food item and receive a raffle entry.

The Bowls
Attendees can also select a handmade bowl to take home with them as a reminder of food insecurity in our communities.
No two bowls are alike since they are handmade by students from Marinette Middle and High School.
The Treats
The GFWC Menominee Woman's Club will be baking up some tasty treats to sell the night of the event.
Each attendee will also get a Culver's custard coupon, curtesy of Joseph Clemmons at Culver's of Marinette!!
Yum! Yum! Yum!
