Empty Bowl events are held nationally to generate awareness concerning hunger and to raise money for local hunger-relief programs. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Summer Meals and Mobile Market programs.
Empty Bowl TO GO is back! Join The Open Door for this beloved community event. Empty Bowl TO GO is a by-appointment-only, drive-thru experience held this year at The Open Door, 28 Emerson Avenue in Gloucester.
Since the pandemic hit, thousands of people faced the uncertain drive to a food pantry for the first time. On May 7, you will follow the same route down Emerson Avenue that became a lifeline for so many during the pandemic to pick up your simple meal—soup, bread, and a cookie at The Open Door. As always, the bowl will go home as a reminder that somewhere, someone's bowl is empty.
For each ticket you reserve, you will receive:

This year has been hard on the pocketbook, so we are pleased to offer "pay-what-you-can" tickets so everyone can enjoy this community tradition. You must have a ticketed reservation!
