Empty Bowls 2026

Meg Wade — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 23:00:00 +0000

We will have tickets available at the door! See you Friday night!

Join us for this year’s Empty Bowls, a fundraiser to support feeding hungry people in our community.

Every ticket holder will have the opportunity to choose a unique, handcrafted ceramic bowl and have it filled with delicious soup provided by local restaurants. The simple meal of hot soup, fresh, locally made bread and simple desserts served by local “celebrities” brings together our community to support the work of Uncle Food’s Diner.

Tickets are $25, or $10 for youth and students. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options available.

In addition to buying a ticket, there are many other ways to support the event. Become a sponsor, donate a bowl, or volunteer—we need you! Let us know how you can help by filling out this quick form or email Meg at meg@peacehouse.net.

Thank you to all the community partners helping make this year’s event possible!

Bowls: In addition to individual potters, thanks goes to students at Ashland High School, North Medford High School, and Southern Oregon University, and especially to Rogue Valley Pottery Supply.

Soup: We have confirmed contributions from La Briccola, Larks, Maren Faye Catering, The Noble Fox, Nous, and Hilo Boy (previously Six or Seven Soups). Chef David Jimenez from Uncle Food’s Diner will make a pumpkin bisque with pumpkins from Fry Family Farm.

Bread: Thank you to La Baguette and Rise Up! and Mix Bakeshop.

More thanks to our partners at Food Angels, Ashland Community Food Bank, and Trinity Church for their contributions.

Find us on the corner of Barnett and Highland near the south Medford exit from I-5. There is ample parking behind the People’s Bank building at that intersection. We’ll stand kitty-corner to the bank building.
