Beacon of Hope’s 3rd Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser

Join Beacon of Hope for a meal, music, and a silent auction on Saturday, April 18, 2026, and leave with a locally crafted soup bowl of your choosing!

Fill your belly with hearty homemade soup, fresh baked bread, delicious desserts and a beverage of your choosing during this beautiful gathering of folks from Madison and surrounding counties. Gluten-free options will be available.

Our intention is to create space for meaningful connection, while supporting Beacon’s work to increase food security for our neighbors. Bring a friend or two, bring your family and/or your loved ones, bring the neighbor you’ve been meaning to get to know better!

Spend some time perusing and bidding on the amazing and wonderful items in the Silent Auction, while enjoying live music from local artists Rooster and Pierce Edens! All proceeds from this event benefit Beacon of Hope’s food pantry programs, currently providing weekly food assistance to more than 1,700 households each month.

The event begins at 4 p.m. at 115 Blannahassett Island Road in Marshall, NC. For more details and/or to purchase tickets, please go to givebutter.com/Beacon3EmptyBowls.
