Empty Bowls: A Food Insecurity Fundraiser

Every day, students face difficult choices between paying for groceries, housing, transportation, and education. Empty Bowls brings our community together to help ensure that no Riverland student has to choose between going to college and going hungry.

Join friends, neighbors, students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community supporters for an evening of great food, handcrafted art, and meaningful impact. Together, we can help remove barriers that stand in the way of student success.
