1Just City has informed us that they are transitioning the West Broadway site into a Housing Resource Hub. They will no longer be serving meals and offering emergency food items. They WILL be providing “take and go” lunches on a daily basis. They will be making sandwiches. For this, they would appreciate donations of canned meats, tuna, peanut butter, fruit cups, granola bars. Guests will be referred to Oak Table and Pimicikamak for full-service sit-down meal experiences. These items can continue to be placed in the grocery cart in the narthex. Thank you for your continued support of West Broadway.
From the 100th Anniversary Task Group
Recently, the 100th Anniversary of the United Church of Canada committee unveiled its’ fundraising campaign to assist Damber and Sumi with their three nieces, Ameera, Anupaa, and Anuka who are in a refugee camp in Nepal. Ameera is 15, Anupaa is 12 and Anuka is only 9 years old. Damber and Sumi send money every month to care for the girls, but we can help, too.
We invite you to give the gift of one dollar for every year the United Church of Canada has been in existence. We’d like to call it “A 100 for the 100th. Of course, we will accept any amount you feel you would like to give, be it less or more.
Here is how The DAMBER PROJECT will work:
· We will gladly accept cash or cheques. Cheques may be made out to “Trinity United Church” and should be designated to THE DAMBER PROJECT. Funds will be disbursed as needed, and at Damber’s discretion between now and the end of June.
· A member of the 100th Anniversary committee will be available before or after each service each Sunday morning from now until June.
· If you are dropping by Trinity during the week, you can leave your donation with Kathy in the office.
· If you’d like to leave your gift in the offering plate, please be sure to indicate that it is for THE DAMBER PROJECT, so that the cashiers will know.
Thank you so much for helping members of our extended Trinity family!
