We didn’t get rid of it - we evolved it. Breaking Bread, Breaking Stigma has been a powerful and beloved part of Hopewell’s story, creating space for dialogue, connection, and community healing. But after years of hosting the event in it’s tradition format, we felt it was time to refresh the experience and how we engage our guests.

With Metamorphosis, we’re building on the spirit of Breaking Bread while introducing a more immersive, sensory-rich format. This new approach invites guests to move through the evening in a way that’s personal, interactive, and emotionally resonant, reflecting the transformation we hope to inspire in the lives we serve.

Because food is the medicine that takes our clients from illness to wellness, and from hopelessness to recovery. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the amazing diversity of local chefs, whose life’s work is providing this nourishment for all of us.

When purchasing your tickets, you’ll be asked to complete a form where you can indicate dietary preferences or restrictions, including vegetarian vegan, and gluten-free options. While we will do our best to accommodate these needs, please note that due to the nature of the event and shared preparation spaces, we cannot guarantee the absence of cross-contamination.

No, however, a host bar will be available for those aged 19 and older. Non-alcoholic options will also be available.

Absolutely! Tax receipts will be issued by the end of December following the event.
