Hopewell Eating Disorder Support Centre is ushering in an exciting new era of our signature fundraising initiative, Breaking Bread, Breaking Stigma (BBBS).
For years, BBBS has been instrumental in raising awareness and critical funds to support individuals affected by eating disorders. This year, we are elevating the experience, reimagining BBBS with a dynamic series of immersive events that engage our community in fresh and meaningful ways.
In 2025, BBBS will feature two distinct events designed to bring people together, spark joy, and create lasting impact.
Past: Hole-Lotta-Hope Cornhole Tournament: Sunday, July 27, 2025 from 4:00pm - 7:00pm
Upcoming: Metamorphosis, A Culinary Journey: Thursday, October 23, from 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Metamorphosis: A Culinary Journey
An elevated, interactive dining experience where guests curate their own culinary adventure. Featuring a strolling dinner format, expertly paired wines, and immersive artistic elements, this event transforms food into a journey of creativity and connection.
