We're calling on corporates, service clubs and groups of friends to host bowl-painting parties. Purchase bowls and paint them at long-time HSH supporter Crack Pot Studio in downtown Oakville - and then donate the bowls back to HSH for its signature fundraiser.
Bowl-painting parties are a popular, fun-filled activity that promote team builidng and support the community by helping Home Suite Hope fill its order for the hand-painted ceramic bowls that are a hallmark of its signature fundraiser.
Grab a paintbrush and let your creativity shine! If you're interested contact Crack Pot directly at CrackPotOakville@Gmail.com or 905-338-1358.
Here's where the bowls come in... on the day of Empty Bowls, guests are invited to select a handcrafted ceramic bowl - as a souvenir of the event or to put it to use 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.
And here's how Empty Bowls helps single families in our community. 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.
