Feed your family & feed your community at Clear Fork Empty Bowls!

We are delighted to invite the community to our beloved soup luncheon/fundraiser for our 4th year, celebrating art and service as we bring together the creative works of young (and old), and local cooks to raise much-needed funds for the BNOC and our food pantry, supplying food to local families in need.


Details:

All are welcome!

Date: Sunday, November 20, 2022
Time: 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
Location: Clear Fork High School

Donations for the meal are accepted at the door; $15 or more may choose a one-of-a-kind bowl to take home.


How it works:

At the luncheon, guests enjoy a simple and delicious meal of soup and bread. But the highlight is that they are invited to pick out a beautifully hand-painted bowl to use or display at home, as a reminder of their support and help in feeding hungry neighbors throughout the valley.


Unfamiliar with our event?

Empty Bowls was created in 1990 by a Michigan art teacher who was looking for a creative way for his students to support a local food drive. The idea grew, and in the thirty-two years since its inception, Empty Bowls events have been held across the country and even the world. While every community’s objectives remain the same, each event is self-developed and independent. The BNOC is extremely grateful for the opportunity to host Clear Fork Empty Bowls and partner with community members and local businesses, joining together to help alleviate hunger across the valley.
