We were so saddened to hear that four families lost their homes in last night's fire. While our hearts ache for what has been lost, we are incredibly grateful to hear that everyone is physically safe.

To those affected, please know that you are not alone. If you need clothing, household items, or anything else to help you through the coming days, please come see us. We would be honoured to stand alongside you during this difficult time and support you in any way we can.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. ❤️

We have been made aware of a residential fire that has impacted members of our community.

If you have been affected by this fire and are in need of support, please reach out to us. Helping Hands is able to assist with food and snacks during this difficult time.

Please send us a private message, and a member of our team will connect with you.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted.

❤️ A Heartfelt Thank You to Centurion Canada Rentals and Services and KLon Services ! ❤️

We are deeply grateful to Centurion for their incredible gift of hand-built garden boxes and to Klon for their generous donation of soil. Because of your kindness, our garden will thrive this summer, providing fresh, healthy food for our pantry and the community we serve.

Your support doesn’t just plant seeds—it plants hope, nourishment, and a stronger, healthier future for everyone we reach. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Stay tuned for more updates from the garden throughout the summer!
