For the sixth time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Gospel Mission is serving a special occasion meal.
On Saturday, Dec. 18 at noon the annual Christmas Dinner will be served at 251 Leon Avenue.
Approximately 700 traditional Christmas dinners of turkey, ham and all the trimmings will be served to people experiencing homelessness at the two shelters. In addition, meals-to-go will be delivered by Gospel Mission鈥檚 outreach team to people living outside and to several supportive housing facilities around 91大黄鸭.
Carmen, Executive Director of 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Gospel Mission, explained that Christmas day is difficult for many who use the shelters.
鈥淥ur staff and volunteers work hard to make the festive dinner extra special and beautiful. They offer kind words and listening ears as well as the nourishing food. It is the human connection and sense of belonging that is most important. We ask that people use grace and compassion for people experiencing homelessness. We never know what is going on in each other鈥檚 lives. At 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Gospel Mission we strive for relentless compassion and are grateful to our caring community for their support.鈥�
91大黄鸭鈥檚 Gospel Mission鈥檚 volunteer team includes MLA, Norm Letnick, MP Tracy Gray and MLA Renee Merrifield.
