Empty Bowl

Thank you for joining us for Empty Bowl 2025

Nearly 1,000 neighbors gathered at the Ramsey Conference Center for our 16th Annual Empty Bowl Lunch, raising enough to provide over 1 MILLION meals to food-insecure families across Hall, Dawson, Lumpkin, Union, and Forsyth counties.

This outpouring of support couldn’t come at a more critical time. As food supply challenges persist, the funds raised through Empty Bowl Lunch fuels GMFB’s mission to feed families, support local pantries, and ensure no neighbor goes hungry.

What is Empty Bowl:  Each year, hundreds join us to take a stand against hunger in our community at our only annual fundraiser – the Empty Bowl Luncheon. Our annual Empty Bowl events have raised enough to provide millions of meals to those struggling with hunger in Hall, Forsyth, Dawson, Lumpkin and Union counties. Along with lunch, each guest receives a hand-painted bowl to take home as a reminder of the empty bowls we are working together to fill in our community.

’til no one is hungry!
