Dear Kingfield Business Owner,
Happy Holidays! We at KFNA are writing to inform you of our 2017 Sponsorship/Event Supporter rates. We hope that you will consider participating in the year to come and see this as a way to support the work that the Kingfield Neighborhood Association does to both build community and tackle issues in our neighborhood. We do ask for your response by Friday, December 23 to help us prepare for our 2017 events and activities. Please read the attached letter for more details–and thanks for supporting KFNA!
Thanks Fox 9 for covering the event last night! They were right, attendance expectations were shattered with over 800 people coming to share a meal with the Kingfield Neighborhood Association last night. In case you missed the event, KFNA is happy to accept any additional donations made via our website today at www.kingfield.org (lower, right-hand side of the page) roll 100% of those into the event and to Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative‘s Nicollet Square.

Get a handcrafted bowl + Share a meal with your neighbors + Support youth at Nicollet Square!
Empty Bowls is a single evening event that combines art, food, local businesses, nonprofits, and lots and lots of neighbors raising awareness and funds to combat hunger in our neighborhood! Proceeds will again benefit Nicollet Square, a safe, affordable, and supportive Kingfield housing option for youth who have experienced long-term homelessness or have been in the foster care system.
The concept of Kingfield Empty Bowls is simple: Attendees make a donation (suggested at $20 per person/bowl), select a beautiful handmade bowl donated by a local pottery artist, enjoy a hearty meal of soup and bread much of which is donated by our fabulous Kingfield restaurants, and then take their bowl home for a daily reminder that many of our neighbors are in need of food and housing.
We hope to see you on February 4th! Keep an eye on this page in the coming week to get a preview of the plethora of delicious food being donated by our many generous local restaurants! Visit our FB page to share this event with your neighbors!
