EMPTY BOWLS 2025

Ruff’ton Roots annual fundraiser: A ticket to Empty Bowls includes all-you-can-eat soup, salad and dessert buffet; your choice of handcrafted bowl to commemorate the event and serve as a reminder of food insecurity in Rutherford County.  Dinner features a spotlight on all local foods from contributing restaurants, farms, and Ruff’ton Roots.

There is an opportunity to purchase additional bowls, bid on silent auction items by local artists and craftspeople, and purchase your favorite dishes to go.

Help us fill empty bowls in our community.  All proceeds benefit improvements and supply costs for the 2026 Ruff’ton Roots Community Garden growing season.
