Empty Bowls 2025

Filling Hearts, One Bowl at a Time

Welcome to the 4th Annual Empty Bowls 2025 event, hosted by Square One Community Inc. in Moose Jaw! This annual gathering is more than just a meal; it's an opportunity to make a difference in our community.

Join us on Friday, November 14th, 2025, at Zion United Church Lower Hall for a heartwarming experience that's all about compassion, community, and ending homelessness in Moose Jaw

"Currently Square One has elevated 30 people out of homelessness into stable, supportive housing, where
someone doesn’t simply receive a roof over their head, but have their lives rebuilt, their civic connections
restored, and their hope ignited once more. This was only possible through the generous support of the Moose
Jaw community, who truly believes our city is a place that restores lives, families, and secures futures. It is that
generosity, compassion and dedication that will help us to fill the hearts of the 52 unhoused community
members who are in the queue, waiting right now for the chance to dream again, and who face another bitterly
cold winter outside." Maxton Eckstein, GM Square One Community

What is Empty Bowls?

Empty Bowls is a unique event with a dual purpose: to raise funds and to create awareness about poverty, hunger, and homelessness in our community. At the core of this event is a simple yet powerful concept: guests choose a bowl donated by various local organizations and fill it with delicious soup prepared by local Chefs. They then sit down among friends and neighbors, enjoy their meal, and learn about how their contribution is making a positive impact on the lives of unhoused individuals in our community. The best part? Guests get to keep their chosen bowls, often treasured as collectors' items.

Why is Empty Bowls Important?

The funds raised during this event will directly support Square One Community Centre's mission to provide a safe and supportive space for those struggling with housing, addictions, and more. With your support, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need in Moose Jaw.
