St. John’s Food Bank

During COVID-19 this ministry was enlarged and operated in an expanded capacity. This was possible due to generous donors from the congregation and the community at large, as well as grants from the borough and Eastern Synod, ELCIC.

Since autumn 2020 the Food Bank has partnered with the Community Kitchen, a neighbourhood initiative distributing ready-to-eat meals for shut-ins and those not able to cook a meal for themselves.

In spring of 2021 distribution has been increased to every Friday in a partnership with one of the Milton Park community organizations. This allowed St John’s to provide food to the many low-income families and individuals in our neighbourhood in a more secure way.
