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.

- Les Schwab Branches will host a FUND drive to support holiday meals in the North Central Region. Friendly competition between stores to raise the most funds for bragging rights. Les Schwab employees are making an impact for the holidays in our community.

We partner with local food banks who distribute the hams to 700 families each year. By donating, you will be able to help make this holiday season a little brighter (and yummier!) for local families! This year our goal is to raise as much money as possible.

Come help us celebrate the opening of our new location - 2002 W Karcher Rd in Nampa! We will have a Trunk-or-Treat for kids, a raffle, and a car show, with proceeds going to The Idaho Foodbank.

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.

In partnership with BSU Football, Mountain America Credit Union is doing a sweepstakes and will be giving away $5,000 to a local charity. We could send this out to any viewer wanting to vote.
