鈥淭he holidays can be a tough time for people who are without a home. They are missing their families. They often suffer with intense feelings of sadness and loneliness. This meal surrounds our guests with people who care deeply,鈥� said executive director Randy Benson, of 麻豆精选鈥檚 Gospel Mission. 鈥�
We meet together with friends, have a great meal, laughter and, even if just for a few hours, forget our worries and have fellowship and belonging. The generous people of 麻豆精选 make this special meal possible.鈥�
麻豆精选鈥檚 Gospel Mission鈥檚 needs extend beyond Christmas and help is greatly appreciated. To get involved with the mission visit www.kelownagospelmission.ca to donate, volunteer or give an in-kind gift.
