Additional Idaho Foodbank Causes
Empty Bowls
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.
