DULUTH, Minn.– The pandemic has strained food banks, but one local pottery business is trying to help out.
The Empty Bowls fundraiser took place at Duluth Pottery in Lincoln Park to sell locally-made creations. 70 percent of profits will go to the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank with the rest going to artists who made them.
More than 100 pieces of pottery are available and one of the potters says it’s great to support both the food bank and artists during this time.
“They don’t have gallery sales and shows to go to also and it’s just a great way for us to do something good for the community and get to make the art that we love to do so much,” said potter Karin Kraemer.

DULUTH, Minn.– Financial impacts from the pandemic have made it hard for some Northlanders to put food on the table.
But help is coming in from all over the place, including from those who work at Duluth’s iconic bridge.
The lift bridge operators donated around $170 to Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank. Operators say that while they’ve been working, they know others haven’t and wanted to give back to the community. While it may not seem like much, they tell us it can go a long way towards fighting hunger in the area.
“But as far as I understand, one dollar buys $7 worth of groceries, or provides 3 meals. So technically, that’s going to feed a lot of people,” said Mark Nyman, a bridge operator for the lift bridge. “It helps those that are less fortunate.”
