6-Week Cooking Matters Course

The Idaho Foodbank and Eat Smart Idaho are teaming up to bring Cooking Matters for Families to the Mini-Cassia. This 6-week course will be an interactive experience to help adults learn how to choose and prepare healthy foods on a budget with limited equipment. This fun and informative class will include hands-on food preparation, label reading, meal planning, and nutrition tips. Our goal is to help families make the most of their food dollars. Each class will conclude with a nutritious meal that participants and instructors will sit down to eat together. All participants who attend 5 out of the 6 classes will be eligible for a grand prize drawing. Children under the age of 16 must have adult supervision and all members of the household are encouraged to attend together.

Pocatello Empty Bowls

Sponsored by:Pocatello Arts Council

Empty Bowls is grass roots movement by local artists to help end hunger in their
own communities. The idea is very simple. In cooperation with the Pocatello
Arts Council, ISU Clay Club and the Idaho Food Bank, local ceramic artists will
create bowls for the event, while local restaurants and grocers donate soup and
bread for a simple dinner. Tickets to the event are a $20. donation. Each donor
will choose their own handmade bowl and enjoy a variety of soups and bread.
Live music and a cash bar will round out the event. All proceeds support the
Idaho Food Bank to help end hunger here in our local community.
This will be our third empty bowls event here in Pocatello, and we are looking
forward to our most successful event to date. This year local ceramic artists will
make 200 bowls, and local musicians will provide a live performance for the
event.

The Idaho Foodbank is asking for help from local businesses and organizations. We need to collect enough food to fill the Bannock County Thanksgiving food boxes that will be distributed November 20th. To make this happen, we are encouraging local businesses to participate in this fun challenge. Participating businesses will be tasked with providing roughly 500 cans of a specified food item; such as 500 cans of corn or 500 cans of green beans etc. (The number may vary depending on the food item.) Points are collected based off of different activity. The business with the most points at the end of the challenge wins. This win will come with bragging rights for the year and THE TROPHY, as well as lunch and dessert delivered to their location by October 29th. More importantly, you will feel satisfied knowing that your contribution will be able to ease the unfortunate burden of a family who has fallen on rough times.
