507 SANDWICH CLUB FUNDING

To continue this wonderful initiative, our 507 Sandwich Club needs funding. Centre 507 has seen an unforeseen rise in their numbers and therefore cannot continue to help fund this parish initiative through their grants from the City of Ottawa. Therefore, we are looking to secure a corporate sponsor to help purchase the groceries to enable us to continue making sandwiches in 2024 and beyond. Many thanks to our parishioners who continue to donate to help feed our neighbours. For more information, please email cmpsandwich507@gmail.com.

Centretown Community Food Centre

Centertown Community Food Centre is accepting donations of food items. Most required food items are:
– Pasta and pasta sauce (cans preferred to glass jars)
– Canned soup, chili, or stew, tuna
– Small jars of peanut butter.
Personal care items like toothpaste, shampoo and razors would also be appreciated. Please leave your donations in the crates in the church foyer. Thank you for thinking of those in need.
