Empty Bowls is back for 2024 and tickets are going fast! Join us on Sunday, October 20th at
Appleby College for Home Suite Hope’s 16th Empty Bowls, presented by Taylor.
Empty Bowls is a fundraiser organized by HSH that brings the community together to visit various
soup sponsors - tangibly representing the soup kitchen experience - the same type of poverty many
homeless families face prior to entering HSH. A ticket provides you with delicious soups, bread,
and desserts donated by local restaurants and businesses and all proceeds fund HSH’s wraparound
supports for its participant single parents and their families.
Your ticket includes: Soups prepared by local chefs, bread desserts and, with an upgraded ticket,
a ceramic bowl. This year’s event will offer two separate seatings, so please be mindful when
purchasing tickets: Seating 1: 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.; Seating 2: 1:15 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
Can’t go but still want to participate? You can purchase a ticket for a Home Suite Hope family to attend.
