Mark your calendars! The 9th annual Empty Bowls Alexandria 2026 will take place on Saturday, February 28th. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we raise funds to support ALIVE!'s critical programs and enjoy delicious selections from some of the very best local restaurants, all while supporting Alexandrians facing food insecurity and housing instability.
Empty Bowls is a global movement to support non-profits that work to prevent food insecurity. Since 2017, ALIVE! has hosted Empty Bowls Alexandria, bringing our community together to ensure nobody faces crisis alone.
Capacity at the venue is limited, and tickets tend to sell out, so do not delay securing your spot. Corporate and individual sponsorships are available. Ladle sponsorships and higher include complimentary event tickets.
