2025 Empty Bowls Sponsorship $500 - Fifth Street Ministries

Empty Bowl Sponsorship Invitation – $500

We are thrilled to invite you to join us as an Empty Bowl Sponsor for the 2025 Empty Bowls Annual Fundraiser, benefiting Fifth Street Ministries. The event is being held on November 16, 2025, from 11 am – 1:30 pm at First Presbyterian Church, 125 N Meeting Street, Statesville.

For over 10 years, Empty Bowls has been a cherished tradition in our community—bringing together local artisans, restaurants, families, and businesses to provide shelter, meals, and hope to our neighbors in need.

This event isn’t just about soup and bowls—it’s about filling hearts and homes. Through our Heart for Home mission, we are working every day to ensure no one in our community is left hungry or without shelter. Last FY we served over 64,000 meals in our Community Kitchen.

🌟 About the Event - Each year, community members gather to:

• Enjoy a warm meal of specialty soups,
• Take home a hand-crafted artisan bowl by CrEaTe Pottery of Statesville, NC
• And most importantly, support the life-changing mission of Fifth Street Ministries.
