The Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry proudly serves all of Bastrop County — including our neighbors right here in Bastrop — who are facing food insecurity. We invite YOU to be part of a powerful community event that supports our mission to feed and uplift families across the county. 

 Saturday, November 8, 2025 ⏰ 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM 📍Elgin Highschool 

Bring your family and friends for an afternoon filled with delicious food and meaningful giving at The Empty Bowl Project. Taste your way through a variety of mouth-watering soups, stews, and chilies prepared by some of the best chefs in the area ! 🎨 Every adult ticketed guest will take home a hand-painted ceramic bowl — a beautiful keepsake and a lasting reminder of the many empty bowls that still need filling. Proceeds from this event directly benefit the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry’s work across the entire county — including Bastrop, Elgin, Smithville, and surrounding areas. Your support helps provide essential food assistance to those who need it most. Get Involved!
