Tickets now on sale for All Faiths Food Bank’s Bowls of Hope fundraiser

All Faiths Food Bank is thrilled to announce the return of one of its most popular events, Sunday, Nov. 9: Bowls of Hope. This family-friendly — and delicious — event supports All Faiths Food Bank’s work, benefiting our neighbors who are facing hunger.

Each year, Bowls of Hope attendees select offerings from dozens of the community’s finest restaurants and caterers as they serve delicious soups, bread, desserts and more. Guests choose from beautiful, handcrafted bowls — all donated by local potters, artists and students — to keep, while enjoying a modest meal as a reminder of the empty bowls they help to fill.

“This signature event is always one of the highlights of our year, as the community comes together for delicious food and fun while supporting our efforts to end hunger,” said All Faiths Food Bank President and CEO Nelle S. Miller. “As the prices for basic necessities continue to rise, and recent policy decisions begin to hit people hard — especially children, families and seniors on fixed incomes — the community’s support is needed now, more than ever.”

Bowls of Hope takes place Sunday, Nov. 9, beginning at 11 a.m. at Ed Smith Stadium (2700 12th St., Sarasota). This year's event is chaired by Susan Holik. General admission tickets are $40, children 12 and under are $15 (does not include ceramic bowl); field-side VIP seating is $150 (with covered seating overlooking the Orioles' field and early entry beginning at 10:30 a.m.) Sponsorship tickets, which range from $500-$10,000, entitle sponsors to early entry for the Bubbles, Beignets & Bowls Reception, which begins at 10 a.m.

Individual tickets and sponsorships are now available; visit allfaithsfoodbank.org/bowls-of-hope/. For questions or sponsorship information, contact Jeremy Lisitza at jeremyl@allfaithsfoodbank.org or 941-549-8142.
