Kingfield Empty Bowls

emptybowls2

Annual February Event

Kingfield Empty Bowls is an event that brings the community together to share a meal of homemade soup and bread donated by local restaurants out of handmade bowls donated by local artists. At this event we accept a donation from all diners and all the proceeds from the event are given away to help an organization in our neighborhood. This event was created to support Nicollet Square, a housing option for formerly homeless youth that provides both efficiency apartments and optional onsite mental health care and emotional support. For a suggested donation, community members enjoy soup and bread from local restaurants and take the bowl home as a reminder of our many neighbors that are in need of food and shelter.

There are so many ways to get involved with Empty Bowls!

  • Be on the committee and help plan the event
  • Help throw or glaze bowls to be sold at the event
  • Volunteer on the day of to help serve the meal
  • Donate food
  • Attend the event to make a donation and have a great meal!
