We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the holidays!
In this season of generosity, there are many ways
we can all get involved to serve our community.
Scroll down for information about the different opportunities available.
GIVE A THANKSGIVING MEAL KIT
‘Tis the season of giving, and we’re about to embark on a remarkable journey of compassion and kindness! As we embrace the spirit of Matthew 25, where we find the wisdom of serving those in need, we invite you to be a part of our extraordinary “Season of Generosity.”
In collaboration with the Western Service Workers Association (WSAA), we’re setting out to bring joy and nourishment to our community. This year, our mission is to share the warmth of the holiday season by providing over 350 Thanksgiving meals to families in need.
We can’t do it without your help! We’re calling on YOU, our incredible community, to join us in making a real difference.
You can get involved by:
- Using the grocery list to provide a meal kit
