The lunches are free, however donations are accepted at the door to help support the program.
This program is made possible with the assistance from community groups, volunteers, churches and students. GBRC thanks all of the organizers and volunteers for their partnership and enthusiasm, who have worked diligently on a minimal budget serving anywhere from 60-100 people a week.
The free luncheons are open to ANYONE and EVERYONE to come and have a meal and socialize.
Anyone wishing to volunteer to cook, serve, or organize, please contact one of the hosting organizations listed on the poster, or Joy Underhill at 843-9024.
Bring your friends, elders or someone that just needs to get out of the house and have a say with old friends or meet new ones!
The Anglican Parish of Derby and Blackville will be hosting on two occasions – Saint Agnes’ will be hosting on March 17th (St. Patrick’s Day!) and Holy Trinity ACW will be hosting on April 14th.
If you are able to help out in any way – contact Valerie Stewart for the March 17th date and Sally Underhill for the April 14th date.
Come along, bring a friend or family.
The meal is free (but, if you would like to make a donation to the local food bank you can).
Think about bringing children and grandchildren – especially the week of March Break.
Visit with friends and neighbours over a delicious meal. The more the merrier!
