Emergency Food Program
Every 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month - 2pm to 3pm at Mary Pellatt Room
Saint Catherine’s has partnered with Harvest Project, to help address food emergencies in the North Shore. Every 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from 2pm to 3pm at Mary Pellatt Room, we will distribute emergency grocery bags; serve coffee, tea, and pastries; and enjoy a conversation with our volunteers.
Our Emergency Food Program is designed to provide immediate assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity in the North Shore, provide essential sustenance, as well as cultivate a sense of belonging and shared responsibility within our community. At the core of our Food Emergency Initiative is a simple yet powerful idea: neighbours helping neighbours.
How To Help?
You may donate safely sealed food items for our clients, in cans, jars, or bottles.
Most Requested Food Items:
- Pasta

- Juice Boxes (for kids)
You may drop your donations in Saint Catherine's Anglican Church's lobby.
If you're interested in providing grocery bags, if you want to volunteer, or if you have questions, email Marymil at community_engagement@shaw.ca.

Thanksgiving Meal
A Table For All
In the past, Saint Catherine's community members organized Thanksgiving dinner and offered a meal to as many people as possible who were in need in the North Shore. What a gift we gave in the years gone by to so many in need in the North Shore. However, starting last year, we are embracing the idea of a family-style meal, where forming relationships is as important as offering food.
We will be announcing the details for this year's Thanksgiving Meal soon.
Here is the LINK to the write-up about last year's Thanksgiving Meal.
