Food for Friends

Once a month for ten months of the year the Food for Friends branch of CrossWalk cook and package into 40 single servings meals for those experiencing temporary food insecurity . These are then taken to and distributed by It Takes a Village.

It Takes A Village Ayr

Another 10 meals are provided to the Deaf and Blind Association home in Ayr

And ten more meals are distributed to those we know who need extra support , and know that they are part of a loving community.

If there are any extra meals they can be purchased with the monies going back into the program for supplies. Fundraising initiatives within the community and donations provide the funds to support this program.

Cooking occurs at the Ayr Curling Center who donates the use of their kitchen on the last Tuesday of the month from 8am until noon.

Out of the Cold sandwiches

From October until the end of April sandwiches are prepared for those experiencing homelessness and are in need of nightly shelter at Wesley Church in Cambridge as well as at The Bridges. Join us at the Curling club on Tuesdays at 1.30pm. Bring a sandwich filling, for example egg, meat ( any kind), tuna, or any of your choice and a loaf of bread. The sandwiches are prepared, labeled and packaged individually then delivered the same day.

Porchlight Counselling and Addiction Services operates an overnight warming centre in the lower level of Wesley United Church, located at 6 Cambridge St., Cambridge.
