OUTREACH AT GEORGE STREET UNITED CHURCH

Our Beginnings
           
The Soup Kitchen at George Street United Church was opened in the Jimmy Pratt Memorial Outreach Centre with the support of Kathy LeGrow.  Since its inception in January 2002, the Soup Kitchen has fed over 30,000 people the Soup Kitchen has not missed one Friday of serving.  

Our Future
            Thanks to the patronage of Elinor Gill Ratcliffe and government grant monies, our Soup Kitchen expanded to include a Computer Access Program.  In a Needs Assessment, many of our Soup Kitchen clients said they required computers for job searching and internet/ email access. A seniors' focus group also indicated a need for computer access.   

Our Sponsors
            Through the generous support of sponsors, we provide a hot, nutritious meal to 80-130 people each Friday.  We sincerely thank all of our corporate and individual sponsors for their continued support.
