Become a leader for the 2026-27 Empty Bowls Committee

The Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference Empty Bowls Committee Leadership Team is now forming! This youth-led after-school committee oversees the planning and implementation of the annual Empty Bowls Dinner in Placerville, a soup dinner featuring live music and vendors that raises funds to fight hunger in our community and beyond.

Youth in 9th-12th grades and Adult Mentors are invited to apply to lead the committee, which will meet primarily at the Hands4Hope Placerville Youth Center once a month in 2026 and more frequently before the dinner on February 20, 2027.

Additional committee participants will be recruited once the Leadership Team is established.

Apply before the September 9, 2026 deadline!
