Empty Bowls Brunch

Empty Bowls Brunch is Here!!!

In San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, food insecurity continues to impact thousands of families each day. More than 15% of our neighbors, including one in five children, struggle with not knowing where their next meal will come from. At Second Harvest of the Greater Valley, we are working every day to change that. Every day, we support a network of community partners, schools, and pantries, ensuring that healthy food reaches tables across our service area. Our mission is clear :feeding our community through our partnerships.

We are reaching out to request your support through a donated item or experience that can help us raise funds for our hunger-relief programs. This year, we are working toward a goal of $150,000 to expand access to nutritious food for families in need. Your contribution will help us get one step
closer to a hunger-free community. This is more than a fundraising effort, it’s a shared commitment to building brighter, healthier tomorrows for our neighbors in need.

Our event will be held September 19th, 2026 at the Veranda Gardens from 10am-1pm. 2111 W. Moffat Blvd, Manteca CA 95336.
