You're Invited to the 2nd Annual Empty Bowls Event on Sunday, January 15th

Purchase a one-of-a-kind ceramic bowl, enjoy lunch with fellow community members, and help your neighbors in need!  Join Boulder Mountain Clayworks, The Hunger Coalition, and a host of local chefs and caterers for this special community event on Sunday, January 15 from 12 noon – 2pm at The Church of the Big Wood. 

Thanks to Boulder Mountain Clayworks, there will be over 300 hand-crafted and hand-painted bowls from professional and amateur artisans and students to select from this year.  With the purchase of a bowl for $20, guests can enjoy a wonderful array of tasty soups, hearty chili, crisp salads, fresh bread, sample cheeses and a yummy dessert.  The bowls is yours to keep!

Proceeds benefit the more than 1,300 children and adults in Blaine County experiencing hunger and reaching out to The Hunger Coalition for help.

Modeled after the international grassroots Empty Bowls project, the purpose is to raise awareness about the issue of hunger in our community and raise critical funds to provide relief for those facing food insecurity.  Boulder Mountain Clayworks opened their studio to the public last fall, encouraging community members to get involved and make a bowl. 

The Second Annual Empty Bowls takes place in the cafeteria of the Church of the Big Wood on Sunday, January 15 from 12 noon – 2pm.   Lunch features gourmet soups, crisp salads, hearty chili, fresh breads, sample cheeses and delicious desserts! 

Participants include:  Atkinsons’ Markets, Big Belli Deli, Big Wood Bread, Cabot Creamery of Vermont, CK’s Real Food, Della Mano, Cheri Drougas, Esta, Il Naso, Ketchum Grill, Wally Lange, Perry’s, Rolling in Dough, Sayvour, Sun Valley Company, and Toni’s Ice Cream. 

Everyone at Boulder Mountain Clayworks, The Hunger Coalition, the Church of the Big Wood and all participating restaurants and caterers encourage you to join them for an especially gratifying meal.  When you buy a bowl and enjoy a fabulous fresh meal with friends and family, you are making sure others in our community will be able to enjoy a warm and welcome meal too.

The Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood is located at 100 Saddle Road, across from the YMCA in Ketchum.  All are welcome with admission being the purchase of a $20 bowl.  Additional questions and more information is also available at The Hunger Coalition at (208) 788-0121. 

The Hunger Coalition strives to end hunger in our community by providing wholesome food to those in need and by promoting solutions to the underlying causes of hunger through collaboration, education and advocacy. For more information, visit www.thehungercoalition.org.
