Kingfield Empty Bowls

Handmade Bowls+ Handmade Soup= Kingfield Empty Bowls, an event to build community & raise funds for NICOLLET SQUARE, a home for 42 formerly homeless youth in Kingfield managed by Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative

The concept of the Kingfield Empty Bowls Event is simple: Attendees make a donation (suggested at $20 per bowl), select a beautiful handmade bowl donated by a local pottery artist, enjoy a hearty meal of soup and bread prepared by local restaurants and served by volunteers, and then keep their bowl as a reminder that many of our neighbors are in need of food and housing.

Bowls donations are being accepted at The Color Wheel Gallery, 319 West 46th Street, from noon-7 PM Tuesday through Saturday or noon-4 PM on Sundays (call 612.823.5693 to confirm) . Need someone to pick up a larger donation? Just contact KFNA at !
