Powderhorn Empty Bowls

11/05/2021

Reminder: Powderhorn Empty Bowls 2021 is cancelled. It would have been irresponsible of us to host a community meal/event for over 1,000 people amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic as we have so many young families and elderly persons that attend as well as volunteer.

Be safe, be kind and get the shot!

The food relief group Second Harvest Heartland estimates that 1 in 8 Minnesotans, including 20 percent of children, don't know where their next meal is coming from. Gov. Tim Walz said he’s hoping to reach a deal with legislators on a COVID-19 aid package as early as next week.

Help Powderhorn Empty Bowls raise funds for Second Harvest Heartland with the donations which you would normally make at our annual Fundraiser!

Nearly 1 in 4 households have experienced food insecurity this year. In communities across the Country, the lines at food pantries are stretching longer and longer, and there is no clear end in sight. We do know that the need hasn't peaked yet.

Thank you to all our supporters for making our work possible. This year we ask you to make a direct donation to a food network of your choosing.

Be well and stay safe.
