Empty Bowls CLARKCOUNTY2026
Monday, March 23, 2026 | Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm | Wittenberg University
For the past 30 years, Second Harvest Food Bank has partnered with Wittenberg University for the annual Empty Bowls fundraiser. Every year, students from Wittenberg University and Springfield-area high schools hand make over 1,000 ceramic bowls to be sold as event “admission” to the all-you-can-eat soup buffet to help raise money for Second Harvest. The bowls serve as a poignant reminder of the persistent “empty bowls” in the world, a consequence of wide-spread food insecurity.
In 2025, Clark County Empty Bowls welcomed over 600 people.

HARVEST BREAKFAST Event Overview
Friday, September 11, 2026 | Topic: TBA
8 am - 10 am | Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts and Conference Center
September is Hunger Action Month, a time for food banks across the United States to rally together in the fight against hunger. At Second Harvest Food Bank, we mark this important month with our annual Harvest Breakfast fundraiser, where we focus on advocating for, and educating, our community about food insecurity in our tri-county service area. Each year, over 300 community members gather at Clark State College for a buffet breakfast and a keynote presentation from national and regional hunger relief leaders, including Feeding America executives, as well as local heroes working in our community to feed our neighbors. Every year, the event highlights a different aspect of food insecurity — previous topics have included Food as Health, Childhood Hunger, and Senior Programs.
