10 Years of Empty Bowls
50 Years of Hope

Join us for a special evening as we celebrate two incredible milestones: the 10th Annual Empty Bowls Community Fundraiser and 50 years of Aid in Milan serving our community.

Enjoy an evening filled with delicious homemade soups, fresh rolls, decadent desserts, and a wonderful selection of silent auction items donated by local businesses and artisans. Whether you're gathering with friends, enjoying a family night out, or simply looking for a meaningful way to give back, Empty Bowls is a beloved Milan tradition that brings our community together around a simple meal and a powerful purpose.

Every bowl served and every dollar raised helps ensure local families have access to food, resources, and hope.

This year's event will be held at:

Milan Free Methodist Church
950 E. Arkona Road
Milan, MI 48160

Together, let's celebrate the past, invest in the future, and continue filling empty bowls—and hearts—for years to come.

Please note our 2025 supporters and in turn, support them!
