Food Charity - Empty Bowls Luncheon at Corning Incorporated HQ

What does this charity do?

The annual Empty Bowls Luncheon at the Corning Incorporated Headquarters is a fundraising event to raise awareness and funds for the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. This year's luncheon will be held in December, date TBD.

For a donation of $25, you can enjoy a lunch of soup, salad, bread, dessert, and beverage, and leave with a handmade pottery bowl generously donated from 171 Cedar Arts Center and the Ithaca Clay School.

This event benefits those in our community who often don’t have enough to eat. Each ticket sold will provide 75 meals to our neighbors in need.

It's our mission to work together to build and sustain hunger-free communities throughout the Southern Tier.
