Home Suite Hope is very excited to be holding its fifth annual Empty Bowls event on Sunday, Oct. 16 with new host sponsor St. Mi ldred s -Lightbourn School. Participants will line up in the schools brand new dining hall in antici- pation of tasting the deli- cious soups from the 18 restaurants and caterers that will provide soups for the event. The lineup is a key part of the event, as it provides some idea as to what it might be like to have to wait in line for meals an experience that many individuals living in pov- erty in Canada face daily. Diversity is a key ele- ment to the curriculum at St. Mildreds-Lightbourn school this year, and eco- nomic diversity is a part of the learning process. Many people in Oakville do not realize that home- lessness is growing in their community, and that 85 per cent of the more than 8,300 low income households in Halton are found in Oakville and Burlington. For attendees at the Empty Bowls event, the wait in line proves reward- ing not only because they will select a beautifully painted hand-crafted bowl that they will take home but also because they will be supporting some of the most vulnerable families in their community. Tickets to the Empty Bowls event are $55 and include a $25 charitable donation that goes direct- ly to Home Suite Hopes work in providing transi- tional housing and out- reach services to families in Halton that are facing homelessness or a hous- ing crisis. Tickets can be pur- chased online at www. homesuitehope.org.
