GROUPS - REACHING OUT

Providing Food Vouchers to the Needy  

Food Access
We are blessed by God´s abundance. Out of such abundance we share with the community. Every third Sunday, we collect food and money for the Partnership West Food Bank, delivering those donations the following week. Every Thursday, between 10:00 a.m. and noon, we provide Food Vouchers to those in need, who come from all over the region. We work together with other congregations in Burlington to collaborate, pooling our resources, our energy and our programmes for the wider community. We do not stand alone in caring, for God calls us to reach out abundantly.

Community Suppers at Wellington Square  

Community Suppers
Every third Friday night at Wellington Square United Church we provide a nourishing hot meal for anyone who wishes to attend. Beginning at 4:00 p.m., with supper served at 6:00 p.m. and clean-up completed by 8:00 p.m., between 50 and 80 people are served — including we who prepared the meal.

While Jesus did say "Feed my sheep," there is a lot of laughter, tears (onions, you know...) and wonderful conversation as we reach out in partnership into the community to share God´s love.

Reaching Out Committee  

Reaching Out Committee
Reaching out is active. It means we get our hands "dirty." We open the doors and windows of opportunity to invite people to work together — starting with charity, growing into mission and maturing through justice. We reach out by raising awareness, by keeping people informed of what they can do, by encouraging folks to grow in their faith in action, by living love. We reach out with a readiness to discover, to encourage and to support new ways of sharing God´s love. Let´s do it together!
