Help us care for our community in
word and deed
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
Each week we feed between 100 and 125 people downtown as we share the message and love of Jesus. We are thankful to have a clothing closet where we can provide people who need it the most with access to warm, comfortable clothing.
We also have the opportunity to work with many refugee claimants as they get settled in Hamilton. As our new friends are finding housing we are pleased to have been able to help provide some basic furnishings from items that our church community has donated.
We also collect care packages in large ziplock bags to hand out to our neighbours downtown. Below are some suggestions for items to include! Please don’t feel like each package needs to contain all the items listed, anything you are able to put together helps!
The following gently-used items are frequently in high demand.
