About This Event
Saturday, October 10, 2026 | 11:30am to 2:30pm | Burbank First United Methodist Church
Join us for Home Again LA’s annual Empty Bowl Fundraiser, a heartfelt community event dedicated to HALA’s efforts in raising funds and awareness for families experiencing or at risk of homelessness and food insecurity.
What happens at the Empty Bowl? Guests will enjoy a delicious selection of soups generously donated by local restaurants, win exciting opportunity baskets and select a beautifully handcrafted ceramic bowl—each one unique and yours to take home. These bowls are more than just keepsakes—they are a powerful symbol of the empty bowls faced by families living in poverty, many of whom struggle to secure even one meal a day. The event also features a vibrant craft fair showcasing goods from small businesses, perfect for browsing and supporting local artisans. Get your tickets or sponsorships today!
