It’s almost time for
Empty Bowls 2025!
This year, every ticket purchase offers soup for two—choose from a menu inspired by the simple yet delicious classic soups of Italian cuisine— lovingly crafted by our talented chefs. Along with your meal, you’ll receive two beautiful pottery bowls created with compassion for our cause by the artists of the Sawtooth School for Visual Art, local artisans, and community groups.
Each bowl represents the strength and resilience of our neighbors and the power of your support in nourishing and uplifting local families.
To complete your meal, enjoy fresh bread, a dessert, and take home bottle of wine to savor later.
TUTTO FA BRODO! —“Everything makes broth”—is an Italian expression that reminds us that every little bit counts, and when everyone contributes what they can, we create something truly extraordinary for the greater good.
Join us to make a difference—one bowl, one meal, and one family at a time.
Drive thru April 23 between 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. at Second Harvest's beautiful headquarters!

Wine Selection
(Patron & Benefactor Level Ticket Levels)
2019 Bella Misto
Pretty nose with a mix of dark red berry fruit with floral notes followed by a hint of spice and pie crust. An inviting and inherently approachable wine that has a lush, soft mouthfeel with a long supple finish. Fresh berry fruits on the palate with a refined tannin structure.
2020 Desaria
White wine made like a red wine. Full bodied Vermentino using the appassimento (drying) process/, extended skin contact and oak fermentation. Luscious tropical fruit flavors, reminiscent of a fresh pineapple and papaya nectar followed by notes of honeycomb.
