The Empty Bowl Dinner is a fundraiser and social event where you can enjoy a delicious dinner of soups made by local restaurants and chefs, see your neighbors, and bid on great gifts at an auction. All proceeds from the dinner and auction go to Our Place and will be used to benefit members of our community.
Overflow the Opera House
September 18, 2025
Each fall, we collect donations in a effort to Overflow the Opera House. Join us in The Square in Bellows Falls to raise money and non-perishable food in support of Our Place.
To donate money, you can do so online or at Our Place. If you are unable to come down in person, we have drop-off locations for food donation at Lisai’s Market, M&T Bank in Bellows Falls, and Our Place Community Food Center at 4 Island Street in Bellows Falls.
All proceeds go directly to Our Place’s Community Meal & Food Pantry Programs.
