Empty Bowls is Back

Join Us as We Fight Hunger

Every day, families in our community face the harsh reality of hunger. Parents sacrifice meals so their children can eat, seniors stretch a single can of soup over several days and hardworking neighbors are forced to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table.

You can be part of the solution. Empty Bowls, hosted by TrueNorth Community Services, is more than just a meal—it’s a chance to come together and make a lasting impact. Guests enjoy a simple lunch of soup and bread and take home a handcrafted bowl to keep as a reminder of the many “empty bowls” in our community.

Your support directly benefits TrueNorth’s Hunger Prevention programs, helping us provide healthy meals to children, families and seniors across Newaygo County.

At TrueNorth, we believe no one should face hunger alone. When neighbors come together—through events like Empty Bowls—we show families that help is here, that they are not forgotten and that we can overcome hunger when we stand side by side.

Thursday, October 9, at the TrueNorth Service Center in Fremont
Friday, October 10, at the VFW Post 4249 in Newaygo
At both locations, soup will be served between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Good Happens Here. Together, we can ensure no neighbor goes hungry.
