Support Empty Bowls 2022!

In its 14th year, Empty Bowls brings the community back together once again at St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School to visit various soup vendors by handing the chef their new bowl to fill. This tangibly represents the soup-bowl experience that many homeless families face prior to entering Home Suite Hope. This is Home Suite Hope’s annual signature fundraising event with all proceeds going to its wrap around supports. Crack Pot has been involved in this important initiative for over 10 years and are pleased to continue our support!

You can help support the Empty Bowls fundraiser by hand painting a discounted bowl from Crack Pot Studio to donate to the event. Follow this link http://www.crackpotstudio.com/empty-bowls-2022/ to order your Bowl Paint-at-Home Kits using the online form. Or you can call (905-338-1358) or email (crackpotoakville@gmail.com) to schedule a time to paint in-studio.

Once you’re finished painting at home, please return your bowls to the studio to be fired and donated to the event. Please note, all bowls must be returned to the studio by October 30th in order to be ready for the event. Alternatively, Empty Bowls at Home attendees are invited to keep their painted bowl.

The price per bowl is $30 (tax included). If purchasing 40 bowls or more (corporate paint party), the discounted price is $25 per bowl. Please note that there is a $2.00 fee per order to use our online booking service. To avoid this charge, you can call or email the studio to place your order instead.

Before ordering, please view our paint colour chart here: www.crackpotstudio.com/colour-chart

Thank you for supporting Empty Bowls, Home Suite Hope, and Crack Pot Studio!

*Corporate Paint Parties are $1000 and include 40 bowls + paint and supplies. This package values each bowl at $25/bowl instead of the usual $30/bowl if purchasing 39 bowls or less.

After serving our organization since the beginning of time or at least our time one of our board members will soon be leaving us. It’s not us, really, but the family has decided to move to warmer weather. We will miss her terribly as she has been instrumental in every aspect of our work. But we need to put out the call for new board members. It will be big shoes to step into and many hats to wear, but those interested can visit our website http://crossroadcenter.org/board-of-trustees/ where there is a pop-up form for this or simple send a resume or letter of interest to Kelly Young E.D. at Kellyy@crossroadcenter.org.
