About This Event
William Penn Charter School proudly hosts The 25th annual Empty Bowl Dinner to benefit Family Promise of Philadelphia (FPP).
This year, we created 3 adult ticket tiers that allow guests to pay what they can.
What to Expect:
-
An all‑you‑can‑eat feast of fresh soups, breads, and desserts
-
Family‑friendly activities and live entertainment
-
A community gathering that directly supports FPP’s mission to end family homelessness, one family at a time
Take Home a Hand‑Made Bowl
Every night, 1,000 Philadelphia children go without a meal or a place to call home. As part of the event, each guest will take home a hand-made ceramic bowl crafted by students from local high schools and art centers. That bowl will become a reminder of the difference you made for children and families across our community.
Event Arrival Information:

- Main Entrance: Enter using W Schoolhouse Ln.
- Back Entrance: Located at the intersection of Coulter Street and Fox Street
- Street Parking: Guests may have to park on the street and walk in. The Penn Charter security team is happy to arrange a golf cart to drive guests up or back to their cars as needed.
