Mission Services: Scan Away Hunger

Mission Services of London’s annual campaign to raise funds for our Men’s Mission, Rotholme Family Shelter, and Quintin Warner House kitchens begins again on November 1, and runs until December 20!
Extending care is often the first step in establishing trust and fostering hope that a different future is possible, and the participant’s first meals with us are pivotal in that process.

“We may not know what someone’s day held before they arrived at the dining room, and we may not know what comes after,” says Len Devost, Food Services Supervisor (Shelters), “But at least we know that they can relax and enjoy a healthy and delicious meal, which I truly believe can positively change the day’s narrative,” explains Len.

Harry Soedarmasto, Mission Services of London’s Chaplain, agrees that meal times are an opportunity to connect. “I use that time to sit with whoever God directs me toward. Oftentimes, it’s someone who I’ve seen sit alone,” explains Harry.

As we enter the colder months, donating $3.99 (or multiples thereof) to Scan Away HungerTM to help cover the costs of hot, nutritious meals for local men, women, and children in need is one way of blessing your vulnerable neighbours.
