In November 2005, at the request of the YMCA ReConnect Outreach Program staff, St. George’s began to offer a meal for the community on the second Sunday of each month. The purpose of this dinner is to provide people with a meal on the weekend when the Karing Kitchen is closed.
Volunteers from St. George’s were often joined by Community groups and Churches (to whom we are most grateful) on Saturday mornings for the meal preparation, or on Sundays to serve the food, or to clean up.
If you are interested in learning more about St. George’s Community Dinner, or if you would like to volunteer, please contact the Church Office at 855-5209.
On a final note, our meal begins with a prayer of thanksgiving; and, following the meal – at 5:00 p.m. – everyone is invited to come to Evening Prayer.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
Breakfast (3rd and 4th Saturdays), 9:00 am to 10:00 am - Take out
Supper (2nd Sunday), 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm - Buffet style sit down dinner
To fill a gap that has developed in the community, St. George's has begun serving a daily breakfast to those in need, as well as opening a dedicated time to use the shower. In addition, we offer clothing and laundry service. In the first week, we provided 66 breakfasts and 20 showers. Our breakfast continues daily, sometimes up to 100 served each morning. We appreciate the support from the community and from grants from the Diocese of Fredericton, Anglican Foundation, MAZON Canada, Benefaction and local Churches. Without this support, we would not be able to provide a much needed and valued resource in our community.
If you or anyone you know would like to volunteer, please contact the church office.
