CTV News featuring St. Paul's on the Hill
See below St. Paul's featured on CTV news to raise awareness on food insecurity. As we continue to advocate for those who cannot afford this basic human right, we are faced with the harsh reality that food is unaffordable for 1 in 5 Canadians. As food bank usage soars and we are stretched to the limit, help is needed now more than ever. Thank you to our AMAZING volunteers and supporters for all you do to help support our community.
Open House BBQ
Thank you to all who came out to our Open House BBQ on August 10, 2024, We had a fantastic turn out and met some incredible people. We appreciate the time taken to come and learn about what we do, how we operate, and the impact the community is having on those facing food insecurity. During this event, we had an outpouring of support receiving $600 and 415lbs of food donated! To see some photos of the event click here or the photo (left).
Your support is greatly needed and truly appreciated as the number of families relying of food banks has grown exponentially. Thank you on behalf of all our clients and volunteers.
