So as the gifts start to come in for us and our guests, we decided that we should do something for all of you who volunteer and support us financially. MEANING ... we have two Godiva Chocolate Baskets available for draws; one at 1632 Angus Street (commercial kitchen) and one at 3535 8th Avenue (finance office), just for YOU! For every time you volunteer from now till December 23rd at our commercial kitchen you get to enter your name into a draw for one of the baskets. And for every financial donation that is made in person at our finance office, up to December 23rd, you also get to enter your name into a draw for the other gift basket. The draws will be made on December 23rd. It's not much, but it's our way of saying THANKS and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is Emily. This year Emily was challenged to do something extra special for Christmas. So she set up a Go Fund me page to raise money for her project, and then she made 20 gift bags for the men in the shelter. Each bag was stuffed full of various snacks, a Tim's gift card, a pair of socks, comb, toothbrush & paste, etc, etc, and a message of who Jesus was and why he came to earth for us. How awesome is that? YOU ROCK GIRL!!

On behalf of our guests and the staff, I would like to thank-you Dr Ooi for generously sponsoring yesterdays chicken meal. And .... rumor has it there's a Chinese meal in the works too. 😊Your kindness and charity is an inspiration to all of us!! - Blessings, Joe.
