St. Brigid's Out of the Cold Take Away Meals Program

From Steve McDonald, Out of the Cold Coordinator: Dear St. Brigid’s parishioners and members of the Parish and school community, I just wanted to update you on the progress of our St. Brigid’s Out of the Cold Take Away Meals Program. We have had six events starting on February 18th and running bi-weekly. We are cooking 80 meals and distributing them with socks and toiletry items between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm at the Degrassi Street door of St. Ann’s Church. We have established a small but committed volunteer base that should keep us going until September when we will take a break. There are five cooks and four servers, and any extra meals are distributed at the St. Ann’s Food Bank on Saturday morning. 

If you would like to volunteer your time, please contact the Mustard Seed, a Fontbonne Ministry Sisters of St. Joseph, Toronto, on Queen Street East. I have had an opportunity  to visit their site and have met their organizers. They are looking for volunteers to work in the kitchen preparing bagged lunches and to help serve, particularly over the summer months. They also have other activities that they will need help with.
