Additional Information

Larry Thomas, best known as the Soup Nazi, from the hit television show, Seinfeld, will be appearing at the 2015 Empty Bowls event benefiting the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. On the evening of Thursday, May 14th, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank will host the annual Empty Bowls event. The goal of the event is to raise awareness and educate the community on the issue of hunger.

In addition to meeting the Soup Nazi while having a modest meal of soup and bread, attendees will receive a symbolic bowl and have the opportunity to take part in both a silent auction and live auction. The event will take place at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center in Waterloo.

 “Our hope is that the notoriety of the Soup Nazi will also build awareness about the many bowls that are still empty in Northeast Iowa.” -  Barbara Prather, Northeast Iowa Food Bank Executive Director
