Our 11th annual “Empty Bowls Luncheon” is recreating last year's success and staying mobile! Visit any of 3 pickup parties to pick up (and pick out) bowls handcrafted by local artisans. In an effort to continue supporting local businesses, when you pick up your bowl, you will receive a coupon good for a bowl of soup from a participating restaurant!
5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC), in partnership with the County of San Luis Obispo (SLO) and City of Grover Beach, is working hard to implement a new, temporary emergency shelter model in Grover Beach to help those experiencing homelessness in South County achieve the ultimate goal of permanent housing. There are currently no shelters available in South County, making this much-needed resource extremely valuable to both those in need and their communities.
The 2022 Hope for the Homeless Golf Tournament raised nearly $16,500 for 5Cities Homeless Coalition programs and services in SLO County.
Join us for our Tenth Annual Empty Bowls! Empty Bowls benefits families who are homeless or are facing homelessness. Following the tremendous success of last year's "Empty Bowls Goes Mobile," 5Cities Homeless Coalition is proud to celebrate a decade of helping local families.
The Coalition’s mission to help those who are homeless or facing homelessness incorporates three pillars: resources, support and hope. Each is key to improving the personal well-being of our clients as well as strengthening our broader community.
Donate NowThrough collaboration and leadership, we are building an engaged community that fully understands the complexities of homelessness and actively shares the responsibility of creating and implementing solutions to reduce it.
