Empty Bowls today

We look forward to welcoming you to Empty Bowls today. More than 150 tickets have been sold and the lower hall of St Paul's United Church on Main Street East is being set up for a noon start. It is wonderful to see the formal launch of a project to make provision for those most in need in our community, which started back in September 2008.

Halton candidates respond to questions

The Champion asked the five Halton regional candidates specific questions. Champion Tuesday April 26th Each responded to the following question "The majority of social services agencies in Halton are experiencing increases in demand and homelessness is on the rise. What strategy has your party adopted aimed at the elimination of poverty?" Read their responses.

130 tickets sold so far to Empty Bowls

This is amazing. 130 tickets have been sold to date for the Empty Bowls event this forthcoming Saturday. This equates to a wonderful $6,500 and so we are well on our way to making $10,000 to start off the first transitional housing unit in Milton. We are very grateful to all the businesses and individuals who have committed to support so far. We hope to sell another 70 tickets. They are available through the www.miltonchristianchurches.ca website. Click on Empty Bowls.
