Empty Bowls is a beloved tradition and community event to fight hunger. This year, we're holding a special Summer Empty Bowls pop-up sale at Lovejoy's Real Ice Cream! From 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm on Friday, May 30, you can stop by Lovejoy's Bown Crossing location to purchase hand-painted bowls donated by local artisans and community members. All proceeds will benefit The Idaho Foodbank's mission to end hunger in Idaho.

If you already have more bowls than you can count, you can also buy ice cream to support our mission, since Lovejoy's has generously agreed to donate 15% of sales on this day to The Idaho Foodbank. Don't miss this chance to enjoy some delicious ice cream while supporting a great cause!
