THE BEACONS ARE LIT!

5CHC CALLS FOR AID!

Happy Wednesday to all our WONDERFUL 5CHC volunteers! Alistair here! Coming at you with a HUGE volunteer update!

IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN

YOU GUYS KNOW IT. I KNOW IT.

YES! IT'S TIME FOR

EMPTY BOWLS 2026!!!

That's right people. It's our BIGGEST event of the year! And from our current response (thank you to those who helped get the word out with the posters!), we're looking at what could possibly be our

highest guest count for ANY EVENT IN 5CHC history!!!

We're just two weeks out on October 1st! We need volunteers for soup delivery the day before and on event day, set up/tear down, raffle, check-in, the list goes on and on! So it's all hands on deck! If you only volunteer with us for one event this year...

NOW IS THE TIME!

So just sign up real quick in the form above and we'll get you ready to roll for Empty Bowls! If you have any further clarifications or questions feel free to drop me a text (805-550-8701) or reply to this email to get in touch with me!
