Community Engagement Opportunity

Community Engagement Opportunity

Justice and Servant Ministries is undertaking an exploration of the homelessness problem in Oakville, and of the local organizations engaged in responding to this growing crisis.  We would like to define a role for J&SM in addressing this need, in collaboration with a community partner.  If you have an interest in this problem, and/or expertise to contribute, please contact Blair Richardson directly or through the Church office.  Thank you.

Short update: St. Jude’s Pantry Program News Last Week

A Pantry Program volunteer commented that readers might erroneously conclude that all the dinners had been made by the named cook team members.  This is not the case.  There are approximately 100 volunteers in the Pantry Program who are scheduled on cook teams.  We are grateful for all their devotion and hard work, which enabled St. Jude’s to reach the amazing number of 13,000 dinners and soups prepared and delivered to clients in 2025!
