Please join us as a Sponsor or Donor in a partnership to help ensure Pajaro Valley families have access to healthy groceries and meals throughout the year.
Empty Bowls provides 25% of our annual operating budget, making it the cornerstone of our support. Your sponsorship or in-kind donation, such as wine or auction items, will directly support local families while highlighting your company's leadership and generosity.
Our event takes place at the stunning Shorebirds Lagoon House, generously donated by the Pajaro Dunes North Association. This uplifting afternoon will feature:
  • Live music
  • An open wine bar bar with wine, beer, and a signature cocktail
  • A generous grazing table with hearty appetizers
  • Pajaro Valley Loaves and Fishes' signature pozole
  • Marianne's Ice Cream Sundae Bar for dessert
  • A beautifully curated silent auction and raffle
  • A lively, auction house-style live auction
Each guest will take home a handcrafted ceramic bowl — a powerful reminder of the empty bowls in our community and the urgent need to fill them.
