Parking lot of St. Columba-by-the-Lake Church, 11 Rodney Ave., Pointe-Claire
Improving food security, one bowl at a time.
Our Empty Bowls is a fundraising event that is held every Spring in collaboration with local potters. Beautiful hand-crafted pottery bowls are sold, in addition to some delicious soup to either enjoy on site or take home frozen. This is important to CDP since it benefits our programs that serve West Island Community members experiencing food insecurity. This event also helps to increase awareness about the number of people who are struggling with food insecurity in our community.
If you are a potter and would like to donate some of your bowls, please fill in the survey by clicking on the button below. Although the deadline for donating bowls for our 2025 event is April 30th, it is never too early nor too late to donate - we accept donations year round.

Activity at the Empty Bowls event
Sign up to paint and decorate your own pottery bowl! Handmade bowls will be available at our Empty Bowls event for you to customize, courtesy of the Dorval Potters' Guild. You will be allotted a 30 minute time slot in which to decorate your bowl. Once completed, these bowls will be taken back to the guild to be glazed and fired. About three weeks later, you will be contacted with the information on when you can pick up your bowl at Corbeille de Pain's offices in Pointe-Claire. Sign up now to not miss out on this fun activity!
