3rd Quarter Meeting 2018
Our 3rd quarter charity winner is "St. Andrews Presbyterian Church." Our member Alex Druskis provided a very heart felt speech and won the votes. St. Andrews provide hot meals for those in NEED on Sunday's (AKA Sunday Suppers or Special Meals) and is one of the few places in the city that does so. It's open to both men and women and they are in desperate need of a new kitchen. The City has recently come in and closed down the kitchen, saying that it is not to standard to serve food to the public. The program is based on all volunteers, with no government funding. Another thing to note: Other local organizations that benefit throughout the week from the use of St. Andrew's kitchen include, Kingston Street Mission and The Mess.
