Join South County Outreach at the 2024 Empty Bowls Gala, where we 'Set the Table for Change.' This annual event, taking place on April 11 at 6:00 pm at [AV] in Irvine, seamlessly blends the culinary arts with social responsibility.

Mark your calendars for an evening of chef-driven culinary experiences, delectable cuisines, live entertainment, and dynamic giving experiences. By attending, you'll not only indulge in a memorable night but also contribute to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. At this reimagined event, today’s urgencies will meet tomorrow’s opportunities – transforming empty bowls into tables laden with nourishment, hope and dignity.

Empty Bowls isn’t just an event; it’s a movement — a gathering to celebrate the art of giving, the joy of community, and the power of change. You’re invited to an unforgettable evening where compassion meets cuisine, and emptiness transforms into hope.

With a mission of preventing hunger and homelessness by promoting a life of self-sufficiency, South County Outreach has been a leader in the fight to end hunger and homelessness in Orange County for over three decades. Through the implementation of programs like the organization’s homeless prevention program and food program, which distributes over 700,000 pounds of food and keeps nearly 2,000 children fed each year, South County Outreach strives to house hope and end hunger.

It’s time to make a difference, one bowl at a time. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities can be viewed and purchased here: https://www.sco-oc.org/get-involved/empty-bowls/. Together, we can forge a path to a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow. We hope to see you there!
