Arkansas Foodbank is thrilled to announce that the 24th Annual Empty Bowls Gala will be held on March 13, 2026, at the Venue at Westwind. This signature event brings together community members to fight hunger across Arkansas while celebrating those who make a lasting impact.
This year, we are honored to recognize Joe and Mary Lynn Copeland for their decades of leadership, volunteerism, and steadfast support. Their commitment has strengthened our mission and inspired countless others to serve.
In addition to celebrating the Copelands, we are excited to welcome Cindy and T.J. Boyle as this year’s Gala Chairs. Their long-standing support, professional expertise, and passion for community service will help elevate the event and expand its impact on families across Arkansas.
This black-tie gala will feature a Night in Black and White theme, with exceptional food and drinks by Petit and Keet, elegant live jazz music, and an unforgettable celebration with many opportunities to connect and give back.
Ticket information will be available soon at arkansasfoodbank.org.
