Good Shepherd Provide a Meal Program – 2022 – 2023
The Good Shepherd Centre thanks you the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Church for your support and generosity during the Covid lockdown period, when, you provided food items for the Lunch-bag Program. While the Centre is not fully open, it has returned to providing hot meals to the homeless and at-risk individuals in the downtown Toronto.
In keeping up with their needs, we at St. Joseph’s have resumed the Provide-a-meal Program—Beef & Macaroni Casserole; this casserole is made once a month.
We hope you make the decision to participate.
Thank you for being a part of the Good Shepherd Provide-a-Meal Program Family.
