Due to the growing concerns about the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), in response to information provided by Niagara Region Public Health, Bethlehem has made changes to some of our programs and support services to promote safety.
The 15th Annual Empty Bowls Event took place on Wednesday, March 4, 2020 at Americana Conference Centre, Niagara Falls. This year's event was our most successful yet, raising $61,000 for programming and services at Bethlehem!
The children and families living at Bethlehem this Christmas experienced the generosity of our community this holiday season.

The two inspired 11-year-olds knew that this year’s Energy Crusher Mountain Bike Race, held on September 29 as part of the Grape and Wine Festival line up, would be the perfect opportunity to find thirsty donors. The 25+ km enduro style race course includes lots of climbing, tight twisty single-track that should be challenging yet safe for all riders.
