They really serve community with food bank, shower trailer, clothing table. They have tents, seating, refreshments. Seems like caring people

A great community church! Wonderful people who make you feel welcome. Great opportunity to meet warm and genuine folks. They do a lot of work for the community. Wednesdays is their day of serving a hot meal to the underprivileged and homeless...a wonderful time to see true Canadian community service. Additionally they provide food and other household goods to the underprivileged through their food bank.

Hello H.

No clue what anyone else is talkin' about. I was welcomed with open arms when I attended my best friend's church. Its predominantly Korean and I'm a first generation non-korean Muslim not even Catholic. The folk in the church and the Pastor, yet, greeted and treated me with equal respect. I've made many friends here over the years and I've come to respect and appreciate my all faiths. Although I haven't eaten here, one few occasions I have been offered food after prayers. They're welcoming, they're respectful. they're down to earth. That's all that matters as stated they are part of the community.

Wonderful loving people who truly practice what they preach. As mentioned, they host a bi-weekly food bank. The volunteers showed up throughout the covid epidemic's worst period when many of us had our lives shattered. They turned up and have always dealt gracefully with crowds of desperate people of various races, including some who are plainly and vocally racist and those with no English. Others with health and shelter issues and many with behavioral problems. Yet through every challenge they have served and delivered a great deal of support 👍 👌 and as someone said people even have a good time.

Almost all workers (specially those who let people get in) do not follow the rule to give priority to parents with young kids as the time is mentioned on the back of each card! If you go early they will ask you to wait till 9:30 and if you go at 9:30 they will ask you to stay on the line up which is not EASY to be on the line up with small CHILDREN. Whatever you do to make easier they will find another excuse to hurt you emotionally!
Even if you explain to them, they still do what they want!!
I only saw 1 person who follows and considers each client's situation. The worst place for mothers!!!

JUT TO BE CLEAR

When I wrote this review I meant food bank workers or whoever were responsible to prioritize clients, I don't mean any religeous workers whoever preach in this church.

Expired, bottom of the barrel type food given to the patrons. Unfriendly staffing mixed with different cultures whom don't speak English or won't. Next to nill amount's given. While theft of your food bag is quite common if not careful from the large amounts of immigrants that flock into a frenzy whom will walk right over you in the line's.Some would rather go hungry than to go through the insane madness for expired food.

They have a food bank twice a week awesome people there..and unfortunately I must attend as my budget after rent and Hydro & telephone is about two hundred dollars to survive and that's without food transit and laundry and my government thinks I'm rich.....
