Community Dinner
Responding
to a growing need in our own neighbourhood, R-W started the Community
Dinner program about 10 years ago. Once a month, between 100 and 150 people
are welcomed to Memorial Hall for a delicious hot dinner, often accompanied
by entertainment. With a limited budget, truly committed volunteers buy
and scrounge food, plan, prepare and serve these meals, which are free
to anyone who needs a good meal. We now alternate with our neighbouring
church, Christ
Church Anglican, to ensure that there is one of these meals every
two weeks. We also combine with them in early December to put on a very
special Christmas dinner, complete with gifts for the children, provided
by our Youth Group.
