Sitdown Dinner is Sold Out

SITDOWN DINNER IS SOLD OUT

TAKEOUT HAS LIMITED TICKETS LEFT – Empty Bowls T Bay TAKE-OUT fundraising event Tickets, Sun, Oct 19, 2025 at 1:30 PM | Eventbrite

Moving to the Moose Hall:

After thoughtful consideration, the Empty Bowls organizing team has decided to relocate the event to the Moose Hall. This decision reflects our solidarity with the support staff of Ontario Public Service Employees Union and their current labour situation at Confederation College, recognizing their essential contributions to the success of our event.

We made this change now to ensure we have enough time to plan for the event at the Moose Hall and give our ticket holders ample notice of the move. We thank the Moose Hall staff for helping us with this transition.

Thank you for your understanding and please spread the word to other ticket holders. See you soon..
