Leadership Fond du Lac County Alumni presents Empty Bowls, 2026

An annual fundraiser supporting local food pantries is returning to Fond du Lac this December.

Envision Greater Fond du Lac’s Leadership Fond du Lac County alumni will host the Empty Bowls event Wednesday, December 2, at Avenue 795.

The event runs from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., with guests able to enjoy lunch inside or choose a takeout option available at 12:30.

Tickets include six soups, a bakery item, dessert and a beverage. Guests can also purchase raffle tickets, vote for their favorite soup and potentially take home a handmade bowl while supplies last.

Organizers say the event raises money for area food pantries while increasing awareness of hunger in the community.

Tickets cost $18 and go on sale November 1. They can be purchased through Envision Greater Fond du Lac, including online, by phone or in person.

Takeout orders must be purchased in advance.
