One of our parish’s outreach ministries is our participation in the Anglicans in Action Family Meal Kit program. Every Monday and Wednesday a team of two or three people purchase ingredients, pack and deliver 24 meal bags to Community Care in Thorold. It sounds like a lot of work, but most of us purchase the ingredients when doing our personal grocery shopping anyway. Funding is provided by Anglicans in Action. Bags and recipes are also provided. Packing the kits can be done by one person in 20 minutes. Community Care staff willingly unload our vehicles. We have had a great deal of positive feedback from Community Care about how much this ministry means to their clients.
We would love to have more people involved in this ministry at Transfiguration. There are lots of options for helping: shopping, packing and/or delivering. Our teams are usually scheduled about every other week, although participants may opt in for more or less frequency. Financial donations to this program would also be deeply appreciated.
If you are interested in getting involved and/or would like more information, please contact Cathie Crawford Browning at 905-892-4897 or ccbrowning@cogeco.ca.
