Kelowna’s Gospel Mission (KGM) will be hosting a special Easter lunch for those living at KGM’s residences and for those experiencing homelessness on Saturday, Mar. 30.
“Holidays can be difficult for people who are suffering and lonely,” said KGM executive director Carmen Rempel. “We make a big deal of the Easter meal in order to draw people out of isolation and into healing community. Putting on a beautiful meal is a powerful way to communicate dignity and worth to those we care for, giving a little hope during difficult times.”
Included in the volunteers helping with preparation and service will be MP Tracy Gray and MLA Renee Merrifield.
Lunch consists of turkey, ham, potatoes, and special treats. It will be served at 12 p.m.
Anyone interested in volunteering or helping out KGM with for Easter lunch or future events or donating can reach out to www.kelownagospelmission.ca or 250-763-3737.
KGM is located at 251 Leon Avenue.
