Join us for Empty Bowls 2025, Interfaith Community Services’ biggest community fundraiser, on Saturday, March 1, at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center (1288 W. River Road). This inspiring event brings the community together to support those in need.
Guests will enjoy delicious soups, breads, and desserts generously donated by local restaurants and food partners. The event also features an exciting silent auction and raffle with incredible prizes. Each attendee will have the chance to select a handcrafted pottery bowl, created and donated by talented local artists, to take home as a meaningful keepsake.
Proceeds directly benefit ICS food banks and programs, helping individuals and families move from crisis to stability and self-sufficiency.
