Cocktail Attire

In 2018, the Arkansas Foodbank was able to distribute over 27 million pounds to our hungry neighbors, that is 61,500 meals a day.  We are gearing up to provide meals in 2019 by presenting our 17th annual signature fundraising event, Empty Bowls. This event will feature local chefs who provide an array of delicious food from some of Little Rock’s best restaurants. Guests will enjoy live entertainment, a live and silent auction, and libations.

Event Chairs

Allison Waldrip Bragg, Katie Waldrip Branscum, & Lauren Waldrip Ward

The Waldrip sisters share their passion for hunger relief in our state: “Even with such fertile farmland and significant food production, Arkansas is the second most food insecure state in the nation. Growing up on a farm, we have seen first-hand the impact that agriculture can have and we embrace the opportunity to continue that effort through this event.” 

 

Honoree

Ben Noble, Vice President of Marketing and Strategy at Riceland Foods Inc.
