Empty Bowls Event

Don't forget the 10th Annual Empty Bowls  

 

Empty Bowls is an event held annually in Tempe to benefit the Tempe Community Action Agency and United Food Bank to help fight hunger in the Tempe area.
The bowls, made by local high school & elementary students, their teachers and volunteers, will be available for a donation of $10 and includes a soup lunch from Whole Foods Market in Tempe.

 

The Friday, Feb. 25 event will be held at Sixth Street Park and the Saturday, Feb. 26 will be held at the Tempe Library Complex, 3500 S. Rural Rd., between the Tempe Public Library and the Vihel Center. They will be open from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. both days.

 

Bring your friends on Friday and enjoy entertainment by Walt

Richardson, and Saturday by Randy Olson and Friends.

 

The Empty Bowls Committee would like to extend a special thanks to our sponsors:  The City of Tempe, The City of Tempe Cultural Services Ceramics Program, Marjon Ceramics, Emerson, Laguna Clay Company, Beyond Graphix, Tempe Elementary School District, Tempe Union High School District, Walt Richardson, Randy Olson & Friends, and Whole Foods Market
SHEETS FOR THE HOMELESS

 Spring is just around the corner, just in time for spring cleaning!  IHELP is in need of sheets.  Please consider donating new or gently used sheets, or doing a sheet drive in your community for the IHELP program.  Donations can be dropped off at Tempe Community Action Agency.

WATER DRIVES

 The weather will soon be warming up and with that comes the need for more water for our IHELP program.  Albertson's is having a sale for $1.99 this week for a case of 24 bottles.  Donations can be dropped off at Tempe Community Action Agency's Food Pantry.  Thank you so much for your donations!
