Thanksgiving Meal
Date & Time
On November 5, 2024, we will gather to share a Thanksgiving dinner together. We are inviting our street friends for a sit-down turkey meal from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, helping them escape the cooler weather.
The event will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church on 120 Lisgar Street.
Why
November signals the beginning of a new winter for our street friends, which they hope to survive. That's why we’re providing them with a warm place to sit and eat a hot turkey meal with all the trimmings. We want to give them hope that they'll survive the winter.
This special meal also provides lots of time to connect and exchange stories with each other and with our volunteers, who love nothing more than being able to share the love of Jesus in word and action with those who attend. We also love to hear from our friends how thankful they are to God for the provision of warmth and good food.
Volunteer with us
We are looking for people to volunteer with us in two key areas: preparation and set-up (9:30 am –12:30 pm), serve and clean-up (12:30 pm –3:30 pm).
To volunteer, please email specialevents@ottawainnercityministries.ca.
