Additional Idaho Foodbank Causes
Empty Bowls
Sponsored by:Pocatello Arts Council
Empty Bowls is a meaningful community event that brings people together to share a simple meal and take action against hunger in our region. Guests will enjoy a handcrafted bowl, a warm and nourishing meal, and the opportunity to connect with others who care deeply about ensuring our neighbors have access to food. Each bowl serves as a powerful reminder that while the meal ends, hunger does not.
100% of the proceeds from Empty Bowls directly benefit The Idaho Foodbank, helping provide nutritious food to children, families, seniors, and individuals facing food insecurity across Eastern Idaho. Every ticket purchased helps fund meals, support pantry partners, and strengthen programs that serve our community year-round.
By attending Empty Bowls, guests are not only enjoying a meaningful and memorable experience—they are making a tangible difference. It’s an opportunity to stand alongside neighbors, support a vital cause, and be part of the solution to hunger in Idaho.

INL Night at The Spud Kings
Sponsored by:Idaho National Lab
If you're a fan of hockey and you live in East Idaho, you won't want to miss the INL Night at the Spud Kings! INL is teaming up with the Spud Kings hockey team on Thursday, February 19th at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls for what is sure to be a fun and exciting night. Not only will INL be sponsoring a fantastic hockey game, but they have also chosen to partner with The Idaho Foodbank to help raise funds during the game which will go towards addressing food insecurity across East Idaho.
That night, all of the players on the Spud Kings will be wearing co-branded INL/Spud Kings jerseys, with those same jerseys getting auctioned off during the game. All of the proceeds from the jersey auction will go directly to The Idaho Foodbank and will allow us to continue providing nutritious food throughout our communities on the East side of the state.
Help us spread the word to get as many hockey fans as possible there and bidding on the jerseys! The goal is to raise enough funds to provide up to 40,000 meals to people in need, so we hope to see you there!
