Serving Our Neighbourhood

Community Gardens

In discussion with the residents of the condominiums beside our church, we discovered that many of the residents had been avid gardeners before moving into these buildings. We decided that we could serve the residents by allowing them to use our property to cultivate their own gardens. We started with 14 raised garden plots last year, and plan to expand this year.

Maple Leaf Public School

When we found out that many children attending a neighbouring public school go hungry each day, we knew we had to help. We've started by making 30 lunches each week, and hope to increase the amount that we are able to help.

We also learned that many of the children are having reading difficulties. As a start, a few of our members have volunteered to read to the children each week in order to assist them with their reading skills.

Here you can see our congregation and friends preparing the garden boxes, and the wonderful results.
