THANK YOU NIAGARA!!!
Our 2nd Annual Country Harvest Soup Fest Was An Amazing Success!
We are beyond thrilled to announce that our 2nd Annual Country Harvest Soup Fest raised an incredible amount - over $24,000! 🎉 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made this possible—our sponsors, vendors, staff, volunteers, and of course, everyone who attended. You truly made this event special!
The soups were delicious, the atmosphere was heartwarming, and the community spirit was undeniable. 💛 Proceeds from this event will go directly towards helping individuals and families in our community who are homeless or at risk of homelessness due to poverty, disability, mental health challenges, domestic violence, or family breakdown.
On Wednesday October 16, 2024, in the Event Court at the Niagara Pen Centre Bethlehem Housing and Support Services hosted the 2nd Annual Country Harvest Soup Fest fundraiser fueled by Empty Bowls and presented by Essentials Cremation And Burial Services Inc. During this lunchtime event, guests enjoyed samples of gourmet soups prepared by Niagara’s finest chefs and fresh artisan breads to complement this culinary experience.
