My Downtown Tampa

Annual Empty Bowls Luncheon.

2008 marks the 14th anniversary for annual hunger luncheon to be held again in downtown Tampa’s Lykes Gaslight Park (map).

Over a thousand guests share in a simple meal of soup and bread that signifies the plight of the hungry just prior to Thanksgiving. Guests take away an “Empty Bowl” memento created by local schoolchildren, and can also bid on bowls and pottery donated by professional artists and offered in a silent auction. $10 per person to attend.

Proceeds benefit America’s Second Harvest of Tampa Bay.
