Description

Join us for the 2025 Elgin Empty Bowl “SOUPer Bowl,” a delicious and meaningful community event benefiting the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry and Support Center.

Come enjoy award-worthy soups, stews, and chilies prepared by Elgin’s finest chefs, along with a silent auction featuring items from local businesses and artists. Each $25 ticket includes a handcrafted, hand-painted ceramic soup bowl—a beautiful reminder of the many empty bowls in our community.

Proceeds support the Pantry’s mission to provide food and crisis support to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Last year, the Pantry distributed over 7,000 pounds of food to more than 500 Elgin residents. Your attendance helps keep this vital work going strong.

Interested in contributing? We’re accepting silent auction donations, local chefs to serve soup, and sponsors for the event.

Come hungry. Leave full—of both soup and goodwill.
