Anchorage's Empty Bowl Project: Community Unites for Homelessness

0:00It's March 29th. This is Anchorage News Today, powered by AI. Anchorage just turned out in huge numbers for the 2026 Empty Bull Project at the Denying at Center Downtown on Saturday. This annual event raises cash and shines a light on homelessness and hunger right in the city using that powerful Empty Bull image to drive the message home. Kicking off back in 1994, folks snag a handcrafted Empty Bull to keep, and with their ticket, they fill up on unlimited soup from Beans Cafe. It's a simple setup that packs a punch for a real cause. Beans Cafe CEO Scott Lingle was fired up about the crowd, saying it proves the people they help aren't forgotten. He called it a straight up show of community muscle coming together for the greater good. Over 90 volunteers jumped in alongside the regular staff to make it all happen smooth. People kept a real, shouting out Anchorage as a spot full of love that steps up big for those in need. Moments like these remind us how one bull, one event, feels real change.
