Empty Bowls - SW

Sponsored by:The Idaho Foodbank

Upload Event Logo

Get ready for our 25th annual Empty Bowls virtual event! Empty Bowls is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and community members, who offer their handcrafted and hand-painted bowls throughout the year. The Idaho Foodbank’s Empty Bowls offers the opportunity to select a unique bowl from thousands. We encourage you to remember that not all our Idaho neighbors are able to meet the basic need of feeding their families. The funds raised by this event help to provide food assistance to those in need this winter holiday season. Bowls start at $15 and sales will open on November 25th at 8AM. Updated bowl pick-up times will be published before bowl sales begin.

If you would like to paint bowls to contribute towards our event this year, contact Ceramica (208-342-3822) or A Way With Clay (208-297-2333) to arrange your time to paint before November 13th!
