How is my contribution used? The mission of Empty Bowls is as follows: through education and continued involvement, Empty Bowls Monongalia provides resources and assistance to Monongalia County agencies supporting individuals and families threatened by food insecurity. The organization's goal is to raise as much money as possible to feed the hungry in Monongalia County.

Funds raised by the Spring Gala will provide support to 22 agencies serving a food insecure population of over 16,000 residents in Monongalia County, including 2,600. These agencies provide hot meals to our hungry friends and neighbors, nutritious groceries to our food pantries, and food-filled weekend backpacks to school children

Empty Bowls Monongalia is an all-volunteer agency with no paid employees.
