On Wednesday October 14, 2026, in the Event Court at The Niagara Pen Centre–St.Catharines, Second Story Community Homes & Services will be hosting the 4th Annual Country Harvest Soup Fest fundraiser fueled by Empty Bowls and presented by Essentials Cremation and Burial Services. This event is a companion to our Annual Empty Bowls fundraiser in March and does not replace it, this is an opportunity to attend a similar event during the day and in the Fall.
During this lunchtime event, guests will enjoy samples (3 flights) of gourmet soups prepared by Niagara’s finest chefs and fresh artisan breads to complement this culinary experience. Proceeds from this fundraiser go toward helping individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless due to issues with poverty, physical disability, mental health, domestic violence and family breakdown.
Our programs and services are solutions-focused to break the cycle of homelessness and help our families across the Niagara region, gain the confidence, skills, and health to remain securely housed.
