Kingfield Empty Bowls brings together 400 neighbors for good soup and a good cause!

By

It was a joyful day to gather with neighbors, enjoy delicious local food, and raise almost $10,000 to support affordable housing residents and advocacy in our community in partnership with Beacon Interfaith Housing!  KFNA wants to thank the dozens of cheerful volunteers, a hardworking and responsible core planning team, and our very gracious and generous host, Judson Church, as well as Meals on Wheels who shares their kitchen.

Thank you also to all the amazing restaurants who cooked and baked for us!

Kingfield SOUPer Bowl Sunday was Super Because of You!

By

Thank you to the neighbors that cooked, cleaned, organized, shoveled, greeted, and ATE SOUP! It was an amazing day in and outside of Butter Bakery, raising funds to support youth and affordable housing!

Thank you restaurants for sharing your amazing food that fed so many people and helped raise funds for even more!

Thank you volunteers for your time and commitment and flexibility as we figured out the cold, a new set up and location, volunteers being out sick leaving gaps, AND cold technology!

 

Thank you neighbors for coming and supporting this event, supporting youth at Nicollet Square, and supporting KFNA!

Preliminary numbers are good with 260 people taking food to go from outside and 61 dining indoors for a total of 321 tickets. Donations appear to be tracking at that amount which is impressive for the three hour event!

If you have any questions (or tips on what could have been handled better, smoother, more clearly!) feel free to email KFNA directly at


Guide on How To Tackle Hunger on ‘SOUPer Bowl Sunday’ (a pregame event!)

By

Sunday February 13, 11 AM – 2 PM, Butter Bakery Café, 3700 Nicollet

Bring on Your Best Team (and your proof of COVID-19 vaccination) to Tackle Hunger and support Kingfield Empty Bowls!

  • Step 1: Bundle up and go to Butter Bakery, 3700 Nicollet, on Sunday Feb 13 from 11 AM to 2 PM.
  • Step 2: Visit the Outdoor Bowl Tent and select a beautiful artist-created, pottery bowl to take home!
  • Step 3: Move to the Donation Table and make a donation (suggested at $25 per person) to support Nicollet Square & KFNA as we fight hunger in your community.
  • Step 4: Decide if you want to dine at Butter or take soup home for later.

Those opting to take soup-to-go will choose one quart of any of the three delicious varieties donated by Simpls; packaged with bread and cookies to travel (plus a coupon for another quart in the future!)

Those opting to dine on site (indoors or out!) can share their proof of vaccination and enjoy soup from either Victor’s 1959 Café, Clancey’s Meats, or Butter Bakery themselves. This will be served with crusty, fresh bread from Sun Street and Great Harvest, and a choice of delicious dessert from The Lowbrow, Royal Grounds, or Metro Meals on Wheels and Open Arms!
