eat soup,
End Hunger.

Empty Bowls 2026 is on! We will be back at Stemma West at 508 Carolina Street on September 19th from 5:00 - 8:00 PM. Enjoy live music, delicious soup, and a handmade bowl to take home!

We made over $10,900 at Empty Bowls in 2025, benefitting the Bellingham Food Bank and Maple Alley Inn! Help us make 2026 even better!

Tickets coming soon

Join us on Saturday, September 19th, 2026 from 5-8pm for an evening of delicious soup, handmade pottery, and live music as we raise money for the Bellingham Food Bank and Maple Alley Inn.

The price of a ticket gets you a bowl of delicious soup donated by local restaurants, served in a handmade bowl of your choosing. Enjoy good food, good music, good people, and beautiful art including a silent auction. At the end of the evening, take your bowl home to keep!

This year, we are thrilled to be back at Stemma West location.
