Festive Lunch a Hit

St. Faith's PrayerWorks festive Christmas lunch on Friday, December 18 was a great success. Many of our community neighbours picked up take-away lunches and festive care packages. We also worked with partners to distribute meals and care packages in the community.   

Thanks to all who so generously donated long underwear - more than 200 pairs! - as well as socks, toques, gloves, treats and other items. We are thankful for PrayerWorks volunteers who cooked and assembled the delicious turkey lunch, put together care packages, and greeted our neighbours, and it was great to see all who came to pick up a lunch and share some festive cheer.
