PAUSED FOR 2026

Stay tuned for details on Empty Bowls 2027!

With much thought and consideration, Empty Bowls is being paused for 2026. This fundraising event will return in 2027 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Empty Bowls!

 

Empty Bowls has been a meaningful tradition for our community. The Food Bank is committed to bringing it back in a way that honors its impact and the incredible supporters who make it possible. 

 

We are deeply grateful for the community’s continued support and understanding as we take this time to plan next steps. We look forward to sharing updates and possibly the potential of having alternative ways to engage with the Food Bank in the coming months.  

Please reach out to our team if you have question at info@foodbanklarimer.org.  See you in 2027!

We are different together.

At FBLC we are not all the same. And that is our greatest strength. We draw from our differences of who we are, what we have experienced, and how we think. We cultivate a dynamic and diverse work environment, one that plays a critical role in our ambitious work to end hunger, so we believe in including everyone.

FBLC is an equal opportunity employer that does not discriminate on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth and pregnancy-related conditions), gender identity or expression (including transgender status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical or mental disability, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws and ordinances in the provisions of its programs, services, or activities to include discrimination against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in a discrimination investigation or lawsuit.

FBLC’s management team is dedicated to this policy with respect to recruitment, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, training, compensation, benefits, employee activities, access to facilities, and programs and general treatment during employment.

We embrace a philosophy that recognizes and values diversity.

Our goal is to attract, develop, retain, and promote a talented diverse workforce in a culture where all employees will contribute to their fullest potential.
