Albany Schenectady Troy, NY, November 3, 2026 — Catholic Charities of Fulton and Montgomery Counties is preparing to host its second annual Empty Bowls fundraiser. The event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, November 5.
The primary objective of the Empty Bowls initiative is to raise funds and awareness to support local food pantries operating within Fulton and Montgomery Counties. Organizers aim to combat the ongoing issue of food insecurity within these communities.
An Empty Bowls event typically involves participants choosing a handcrafted bowl and enjoying a simple meal of soup and bread. Following the meal, attendees keep the bowl as a reminder of the empty bowls in their community. The funds raised from ticket sales and any additional donations are then directed towards organizations working to alleviate hunger.
This year marks the second time Catholic Charities of Fulton and Montgomery Counties has organized this particular event, building on the efforts from the previous year. The funds generated are intended to provide essential support to food pantries, enabling them to continue their services for individuals and families facing food shortages. The specific locations and operational details of the food pantries that will benefit were not provided in the available information.
The date for the event is November 5. Further details regarding the event’s location, ticket prices, and specific times were not immediately available at the time of reporting. The focus remains on garnering community support to address the persistent challenge of food insecurity in Fulton and Montgomery Counties.
