Empty Bowls, our signature fundraiser each year in October, remains a crucial part of Channel One’s work to increase food security for our friends and neighbors. Channel One seeks donations throughout the year from our local arts community in an effort to continue the tradition of providing handmade or hand-painted bowls to our event participants.

Give to the Max Day is Minnesota’s statewide day of giving. Every year, thousands of organizations and individuals generate donations and excitement for Minnesota causes that are working to improve the quality of life for all Minnesotans. Each time you make a gift in November on GiveMN, you could help your favorite nonprofits and schools win part of the $100,000+ Prize Pool!

Featuring partnering restaurants providing a variety of epicurean bites, this exciting event will give approximately 250 guests a chance to eat, drink, socialize, and come together around something that connects us all: food. Proceeds will support Channel One’s ability to address food insecurity in 14 counties in southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign, the largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state, brings together organizations, businesses, faith communities,
and individuals to help stock and support the capacity of nearly 300 food shelves, including the Channel One Food Shelf.
