PHARR, Texas -The Food Bank RGV is delighted to extend its heartfelt gratitude to Driscoll Health Plan for their invaluable support as a Grapefruit-level sponsor of Empty Bowls 2023. Driscoll Health Plan’s generous contribution will enable the provision of an additional 25,000 meals to those in need within the community.
Driscoll Health Plan’s commitment to fighting hunger has been demonstrated not only through their sponsorship of Empty Bowls 2023 presented by H-E-B Hunger Relief but also through their prior sponsorship of Empty Bowls Lower Valley 2023 in Brownsville earlier this year.
“Driscoll Health Plan’s unwavering support has played a vital role in our mission to alleviate hunger within the Rio Grande Valley,” stated CEO Libby A. Saenz. “Their sponsorship of both Empty Bowls events this year showcases their dedication to our cause, and we are profoundly grateful for their partnership.”
Empty Bowls 2023 presented by H-E-B Hunger Relief is scheduled to take place on October 17, 2023, at the Bert Ogden Arena. The Food Bank RGV’s annual luncheon and silent auction fundraiser, held from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, will feature an impressive lineup of over 35 restaurants offering delectable tastings for attendees to enjoy. The event will also include an engaging silent auction and raffles aimed at raising vital funds to support the ongoing battle against hunger in the RGV.
With the cost of admission, guests will also receive a hand-painted ceramic bowl as a keepsake, symbolizing their contribution to the fight against hunger and their commitment to the community.
This year marks the 18th anniversary of Empty Bowls, a testament to the enduring commitment of the community in coming together to make a difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity.
