Empty Bowls 2026: A Taste of Community, A Bowl of Hope

Home Suite Hope's Empty Bowls returns to Appleby College Sunday, November 8, 2026 - sponsored by Henderson Partners LLP - for a heartfelt tradition that brings our community together in support of families working toward stability.

Guests are invited to select a handcrafted ceramic bowl and present it to local chefs to be filled with a variety of delicious soups — a powerful and tangible reminder of the empty bowls many families face before finding support through Home Suite Hope.

As our signature annual fundraiser, Empty Bowls helps fund the vital wraparound services that empower single-parent families on their journey from crisis to independence.

This much-loved event invites the community to gather around the table, sample the best of Halton’s culinary scene, and be part of lasting change. Your ticket includes mouthwatering soups, artisan bread, and decadent desserts — all generously donated by local restaurants and businesses.

All new this year: Kids tickets (12 and under)! $30 no bowl, $45 with bowl.
