"Empty Bowls is an event designed to raise awareness & funds for those in our community who are experiencing food insecurity. Soups prepared by local restaurants - including Jo Jo's Deli, Lucia Ristorante, and The Po Cafe - will be the main course, along with bread and dessert! Each ticket allows our guests to have the opportunity to select a hand-painted artisan bowl, that serves as a reminder of those experiencing food insecurity in our community.
All proceeds benefit Camella’s Cupboard Food Pantry for Children. Camella’s Cupboard provides food to 200 New Milford families and their children each week.
Tickets range from $35.00 - $50.00. Tickets can be purchased for eat-in or take-out. There are a limited number of tickets for early entry to get the best selection of bowls. Tickets can be purchased for our early seating – 4:00 – 5:30 pm, or our later seating – 5:30 – 7 pm.
We will also host a silent auction and games!
Empty Bowls will be held on Saturday, March 11th at the VFW Hall, 11 Avery Road, New Milford.
Photos will be taken at the event. By purchasing a ticket, you agree to the use of your image or voice recording in any form by Camella’s Cupboard Food Pantry for Children as part of their communication programs, including release to the media."

The mission of Camella's Cupboard is to provide year-round hunger relief to children, seniors, and other vulnerable populations in the Greater New Milford, CT community without bias. What began as a summer lunch program has become a weekly food pantry distribution.
